Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I am from a land of shirk (associating partners with Allah) where it is widespread and apparent, and where there is also ruling by other than what Allah has revealed. I came to these blessed lands to learn knowledge. When I learned what the people of my land are upon, I intended to migrate to these lands, not to return to them, and to separate from them. Is what I did correct, or is it obligatory for me to return to them, call them, and strive against them?
Answer:
Yes, it is obligatory for you to call them. You go to them and call to Allah and teach them. This is obligatory for you, as long as they accept and as long as they do not prevent you from going to them. Yes.
