The obligation of emigrating from the lands of disbelief, even if safety is found there for Muslims

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner says: In these days, in some foreign disbelieving countries, there is safety for Muslims, and they are not harmed, and they perform their obligatory acts with complete freedom. Is it obligatory for the Muslim there to emigrate to the lands of the Muslims?

Answer:
Yes, emigration is obligatory as long as one is able to emigrate; it is obligatory for him. He only stays in the lands of the disbelievers to the extent of dire necessity. If the dire necessity is removed, he emigrates to the lands of the Muslims. I do not think that the one who lives with the disbelievers will be left alone by them, especially at this time with the plotting of the Jews and the Christians now, and their enmity toward the Muslims. They will not leave him alone. If they left him alone for a time or for a period, they will not leave him alone in the future, and he is threatened with danger from them. Yes.
