Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Migration to Muslim lands now has residency systems with specific time limits. Are we required to migrate there in this situation?
Answer:
As I answered recently, I said that the one whom the procedures prevent, the official procedures prevent him from migrating, is excused until this obstacle is removed. He should try, he should try to obtain a permit. He should try, yes. He should not sit and remain silent, but rather he should try, yes.
