Question:
He says: What is your advice for a student of knowledge who wants to worship Allah alone in the manner that brings peace to his heart in his country? Because in his country, the people adhere to a specific school of jurisprudence and dislike those who differ from them?
Answer:
He is required to follow the Book and the Sunnah, even if the people of his country oppose him; they are not a standard to be followed. He is required to hold fast to the truth and the correct religion derived from the Book and the Sunnah. If those who oppose him do so, he should be patient with this, or he should be able to leave their country and come to the Muslims, or go to the Muslims and be with them. This is obligatory for him. Yes.
