Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I live in Paris and I am trying hard to leave this disbelieving country. What is your advice to me, and what are the things that help me strengthen my faith so that I can leave and emigrate from these lands to the lands of the Muslims?

Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:
So fear Allah as much as you are ableفَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ
[At-Taghabun 64:16]
So you should do what you are able to. As for emigration, if you are unable to perform it, you are excused
Except for the oppressed among men, women and childrenإِلَّا الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ وَالْوِلْدَانِ
[An-Nisa 4:98]
. The one who is weak and unable to emigrate is excused until he is able to do so. When he becomes able, he emigrates.
