Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to migrate from a land of disbelief to another land of disbelief because it is less severe, and I am unable to migrate to a land of Islam?
Answer:
Yes, this falls under the category of committing the lesser of two harms. The Companions did this; they migrated from Makkah while the polytheists were there to the Negus, who was a Christian, because it was less severe and no one was wronged there. Yes.
