Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I am a scholarship student at the Arabic Language Teaching Institute at Imam University, and one of the doctors told us that hijrah has ceased in this time because there is no Islamic state on the face of the earth. Is his statement correct?
Answer:
This is according to the methodology of the takfir (declaring someone a disbeliever) people who declare people disbelievers in general. This person says there is no Islamic state on the face of the earth, and this is general takfir, and may Allah protect us from that. This is a false statement. The Muslim migrates with the Muslims, even if the Muslims do not have a state; he is with them, with the Muslims.
He does not stay with the disbelievers, whether they are under a Muslim state or they are a Muslim minority, but they are holding fast to their religion. So, if complete hijrah to an Islamic land that rules by the Shari'ah (Islamic sacred law) occurs, that is the default and what is required. Otherwise, at the very least, he migrates to Muslims to live with them and reside with them.
His children are raised with their children, so he is in a Muslim environment. Or he migrates to a disbeliever state, but it is less evil than the oppressive, tyrannical state, causing less harm. Just as the Companions migrated by the command of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to Abyssinia, and its king, the Najashi, was a Christian, then he became a Muslim afterwards.
So, a person seeks hijrah: either complete hijrah to an Islamic land that rules by the Shari'ah, which is the default and what is required, or at the very least he reduces the evil by migrating with the Muslims, or he migrates to a state that is less evil than the state. Yes.
