Residing in Lands of Disbelief and Salvation from Trials

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: We live in lands of disbelief, so how do we save ourselves from trials? And what matters and books do you advise us with?
The Shaykh:
By Allah, residing in lands of disbelief is not permissible except in cases of dire necessity, and only to the extent of that necessity, while holding firmly to the religion, until Allah makes emigration easy for you. This issue is one of dire necessity only, and whenever emigration to the lands of Muslims becomes easy for you, it is obligatory for you to do so. Yes.

Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.

But during your residence in lands of disbelief for the sake of dire necessity, you must fear Allah, hold firmly to your religion, and call people to Allah according to your ability. Yes.
