Is migration obligatory to a country governed by the Shari'ah of Allah, but dominated by sectarian fanaticism and the spread of religious innovations?

The questioner : Shaykh, even if this state is established on, I mean, religious innovation, and does not care about the oneness of Allah, and is fanatical about the school of Abu Hanifah, even if that were the case, is migration obligatory?

The Shaykh : May Allah reward you. What concerns us now is that Islam becomes a system.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : There are matters upon which there is consensus, and there are matters upon which there is disagreement. So when a Muslim ruler in a certain country applies the legal rulings that are not applied in other countries, even if only within the limits of what is agreed upon among Muslims, these are signs of good. After that come the other matters and how they should be dealt with. First of all, the creed, as you pointed out, the oneness of Allah. This is not dealt with by fighting or battles, but rather by calling others to Islam. There is no doubt that this state, which we assume will be established on, for example, the Hanafi school in the branches and whatever school you wish in the creed, will either open the door for pure Islamic callers who know no school for themselves except the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). If they are permitted, as is supposed, this is part of the completion of victory and the completion of ruling by Islam on earth. But if they are prevented from that, then every incident has its own story, and there is no doubt. I do not think that a Muslim who has any correct, conscious Islamic culture would choose the continuation of the ruling of the disbelieving, atheist communists in those lands or elsewhere over the arrival of a Muslim Hanafi ruler, whatever you wish. I do not think anyone would choose that over this, because among the fundamental principles of jurisprudence, and among the principles agreed upon by scholars, is that if a Muslim falls between two evils, he chooses the lesser of them in evil and the easier of them in ruling. So for an Islamic sectarian state to be established there is better, without doubt, than for the communist government to continue and fight Islam radically. Therefore, what we should not do now, having been struck by this severe shock, is to think about what the ruling will be. Will it be according to the Book and the Sunnah as we wish, and as we sent an oral message to this commander, Hekmatyar, regarding this matter, that if you open Kabul, you should declare that the ruling will be according to the Book and the Sunnah, and not according to the Hanafi school. But if they do not respond to this and respond to the rulings of Abu Hanifah and his school, then as it is said, "Hannani, some evil is less than some." Yes.
