Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner from outside this country says: I hear a lot that migration from Europe and the lands of disbelievers is not obligatory, because there are many mosques and Muslims are in a state of ease and respect for their religion. He asks: Is this statement that is being circulated correct?
Answer:
No, it is not correct. Migration is obligatory,Sunan Abi Dawud 2479Sahih (Al-Albani). Therefore, it is not permissible for him to leave off migration while he is able to do so. As for if he is unable, he remains with the Muslim communities, and if he is unable to migrate, he remains. Yes. Or if his remaining is for calling to Allah and benefiting the Muslims, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.

لا تنقطع الهجرة حتى تنقطع التوبة، ولا تنقطع التوبة حتى تخرج الشمس من مغربها
