What is the meaning of returning to Bedouin life after the migration?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Returning to Bedouin life after the migration is one of the major sins. Ibn al-Athir said in *al-Nihayah*: "It is to return to the desert and reside with the Bedouins after having been a migrant. Whoever returns to his place of origin after the migration without an excuse is considered by them to be like an apostate."
The questioner: Allahu Akbar.
The Shaykh : This is the fifth volume. I said: And similar to this is *tagharrub*, which means traveling to the lands of the West and disbelief from the Islamic lands, except out of dire necessity. Some of them call that *hijrah*.
The questioner: Allahu Akbar.
The Shaykh : And this is a reversal of the established facts of the Shari'ah, which we have been afflicted with in this age. For *hijrah* is from the lands of disbelief to the lands of Islam, and Allah is the One to be sought for help.
The questioner : Allahu Akbar. Shaykh, by the way, my brother Adnan and I went to Abu al-Harith 'Abd al-Fattah 'Umar.
The Shaykh : Abu al-Harith.
The questioner : 'Abd al-Fattah, 'Umar.
The Shaykh : 'Abd al-Fattah.
The questioner : Yes, he said to me, "I want to visit him." So the point is, we prayed the midday or afternoon prayer—I do not remember now—and I noticed a wall magazine. They had placed it among the papers containing a message from the Ministry of Awqaf to the general Muslim public, requesting a preacher for the purpose of *hijrah* to Spain so that he would engage in da'wah. So we told him... This came out of the Ministry of Awqaf; they want someone to migrate from these lands to France and to Spain, a preacher to Allah.
The Shaykh : I seek refuge in Allah, Allahu Akbar. The Ministry of Awqaf... Say, who prays?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And say, who dresses in Islamic attire, which is obligatory, and who maintains the prayer? I do not know what the plan was, but it did not last long.
The Shaykh : So when he consulted with his family, he said yes. I said, "Do you know that this is forbidden?" He said, "By Allah, we have no knowledge of it." So I read to him the hadith, and naturally, they were delighted with it.
