The questioner : On the same topic, please, Shaykh, if you would.
The Shaykh : No, I do not wish to delve into the topic of emigration.
The student : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Because there are many, many tapes on this.
The student : But may Allah reward you with good for this, and may Allah bless you.
The questioner : It is just what is being circulated in the newspapers, what they wrote, which is...
The Shaykh : Leave the newspapers alone, my brother. You do not know that newspapers are a group of merchants who want to fill pages and fill the gaps, and so on. Yes.
The student : The topic of emigration reminded us of our brothers in Afghanistan. A few years ago, they were issuing fatwas to them that it was obligatory to emigrate from Afghanistan to Kashmir, even though disbelievers had not entered Afghanistan; they were all Afghan Muslims. They issued a fatwa that it was obligatory for them to emigrate, and five million emigrated to Kashmir, but...
Another student : To Pakistan.
The student : To Pakistan and Kashmir. I seek forgiveness from Allah. Peshawar. I seek forgiveness from Allah. Peshawar.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student : Yes, this means we remembered it two days ago and we wanted to...
The Shaykh: Yes, by Allah.
The student : Yesterday, my Shaykh.
Another student : We wanted to tell you, Shaykh... They emigrated, and the entire Muslim world helped them and saw them as righteous people because they fled with their religion from the communists. And the communists were with their tanks and their camps, and they did not mix with them.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The student: Yes.
Another student : Yesterday, my Shaykh, a woman from Gaza came. She is my brother-in-law's aunt.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student : So I asked about the news there, and I mentioned before my mother a woman in Gaza whom the Jews did not beat.
The Shaykh: Allahu Akbar.
The student : With her body, and she said, "My body is like a black garment."
The Shaykh: Allahu Akbar.
The student : Dyed by them.
The Shaykh : I seek refuge in Allah.
The student : And she mentioned about a woman, my uncle's wife, there is a pious woman.
The Shaykh : May Allah fight the hypocrites.
The student : She did not find anything but the Jews entering upon her. She was wearing nothing, meaning she was sitting in her house, taking her freedom. When the Jews entered, she said to him, "Wait, wait, just let me put on my clothes." So, out of her simplicity, "Wait, wait, just let me put on my clothes."
The Shaykh: Allahu Akbar.
The student : He kicked her with his foot like this and hit her with the rifle. So she mentioned that in the area where they are, people complained that in this house there was a man from the resistance, meaning the fedayeen. She said they blew up twenty houses, and this house, they blew up twenty houses, and every house they enter, they do not enter through the doors, my Shaykh. They put up ladders and come down from the windows onto the houses, and the women are in the houses. So she mentioned words about this topic, something, meaning, strange.
Another student : It reminds me of something similar to what Abu 'Abdullah said, may Allah reward him with good... They surrounded an area and placed the men. A Jew brought a Palestinian woman and beat her and humiliated her in front of them and said to them, "The man among you, step forward. Are you not men? Do you not have jealousy for honor? This... You are men and you have jealousy for honor. The man among you steps forward, comes out, and saves her. Come on, a man." He started hitting her. All of them lowered their heads... and they withdrew.
The student : In... it reminds me of Sayyid Muhammad Ra'fat. He is studying in Russia, and there are forty-eight Arab Palestinians, the Arabs before the war of sixty-seven. If they ask them about their nationality, "What are you?" they say, "We are Israelis."
The Shaykh: Allahu Akbar.
The student : They say to him, "My people, you are Arabs, you are Arabs." He says, "No, we are not Arabs. We hold Israeli citizenship." And these methods exist among them.
Another student : This is agreed upon, this is known, this is in... they say...
The Shaykh: Allahu Akbar.
The student : We wanted to...
The Shaykh : And then some of our brothers say, the newspapers, the newspapers said it is forbidden for the Palestinians to leave their country, it is forbidden.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : By Allah, he says:[An-Nisa 4:97].
The student : And there is a verse in al-'Ankabut as well...[Al-'Ankabut 29:56]
The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar. Other than that.
The student : No, a little while ago they told us to explain Ibn Kathir.
The Shaykh : Other than that? Yes.
The Shaykh : No, I do not wish to delve into the topic of emigration.
The student : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Because there are many, many tapes on this.

Was not the earth of Allah spacious [enough] for you to emigrate therein?
أَلَمْ تَكُنْ أَرْضُ اللَّهِ وَاسِعَةً فَتُهَاجِرُوا فِيهَاThe student : And there is a verse in al-'Ankabut as well...
O My servants who have believed, indeed My earth is spacious, so worship only Me.
يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّ أَرْضِي وَاسِعَةٌ فَإِيَّايَ فَاعْبُدُونِThe Shaykh : Allahu Akbar. Other than that.
