Emigration to Muslim Lands While the Sons Refuse
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I want to emigrate to Muslim lands, but my sons do not want to leave the land of the disbelievers, and they refuse to do so. What is your advice to me and to them?
Answer:
You must compel them if you have the power to force them and oblige them; you force them. If you do not have this power, you emigrate by yourself. Emigrate by yourself and continue calling them to emigrate and to join you, perhaps Allah will guide them. Yes.
