What is the ruling on migrating to other countries due to the harassment they face in their own countries? And if this harassment subsides, do they return to their countries?

The questioner : I have a comment on a question a brother mentioned to you a while ago. A Libyan brother here asked you a question about migration previously. And our brother, may Allah forgive him, said that it is not possible to spread the da'wah in Libya. But there are secret efforts, ma sha Allah, in printing tapes and distributing them, and selling good letters and books, and so on. And let alone the effort in the family. What is your opinion now that the situation has become clear?

The Shaykh : O our brother, what you mentioned just now is enough for us, meaning the Muslim there

The questioner : is being oppressed

The Shaykh : is being oppressed and is unable to worship Allah the Mighty and Majestic in many of the acts. And you mentioned some examples just now. So, if it is facilitated for him to migrate to a place where he can enjoy more religious freedom, then that is obligatory. Otherwise, as we said just now, if this pressure exists there, at the very least the Muslim should be in his home studying knowledge, raising himself, and raising his family upon that. But if he finds another country, near or far from you, where the Muslim can be a Muslim in appearance and in reality, why does he not migrate to that place? The brother you are referring to, and perhaps it is the brother who was present there at the sports city, I think, ah, I do not think he spoke the truth.

The questioner : Good.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : Good, Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Good.
onAl-Halabi : Our Shaykh, by Allah, we mention it and then we forget where we are. Ma sha Allah, Blessed is Allah, I remembered.

The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you, my master.
onAl-Halabi : What Allah willed.

The Shaykh : I seek forgiveness from Allah. The point is that we are still at this fatwa. Okay, change it.
