What is your opinion regarding one of them objecting to your fatwa on the obligation of emigrating from Palestine by saying that if we apply it to reality, it is impossible or nearly impossible?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : One of them objected, O my Shaykh, by saying: This fatwa, if we apply it to reality, is impossible or nearly impossible.
The Shaykh : That is not relevant to us. We say: whoever is able.
The questioner : He is coming from this standpoint, O my Shaykh. He says that now the Palestinian people are known to mean that they are not allowed to leave, nor to reside in any country. So, everyone is unable.
The Shaykh : It does not apply to us, my brother, because our topic is not specifically regarding Palestine, first of all, from all countries.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And it is not specifically regarding every Palestinian resident in Palestine. This ruling, as we said, I think on this occasion and others.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Whoever is able to it, we said, we brought a hadith, my brother:Sunan Abi Dawud 952Sahih (Al-Albani).
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So, emigration is obligatory upon the one who is able. If we assume that no one among the Palestinians can emigrate, who says that he must emigrate? This is a statement that is not relevant.
The questioner : O my Shaykh, so may Allah bless you. I mean, their point in this is that we now know that no one is able to emigrate. They said, let us assume for the sake of argument that the fatwa is correct, but with a study of reality, we know that no one is able.
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner : So, does the legal ruling, I mean, if for example Shaykh Nasir al-Albani was directing the question like this: if Shaykh Nasir al-Albani, after deliberation with us or with others, came to know that he is not able, is it valid for him to lower this fatwa to what you described?
The Shaykh : It is not authentic.
The questioner : Okay, andThe Shaykh : Nasir knows that no one is able, so why did he not lower this fatwa?
The Shaykh : My brother, the answer has already been given. May Allah guide you and them.
The questioner: Amen.
The Shaykh : The answer has already been given.
The questioner : How, my Shaykh?
The Shaykh : The answer has already been given. If we were in a place where we are all healthy, we narrated to you his saying (peace be upon him):Sunan Abi Dawud 952Sahih (Al-Albani).
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : What would we have done?
The questioner : There is nothing. I, O my Shaykh, I do not know. I answered, I mean, I said: if they are not able today, they will be able in the next day, or in the following year, until, I mean, permission is granted. And this is a legal ruling. I wanted, O my Shaykh, I mean, to critique their speech with...
The Shaykh : My brother, I gave you the answer.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Every legal ruling is tied to ability.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So, whoever is able, it is obligatory, and whoever is not able, it is not obligatory. What is the problem?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So, if we engage with them and say that no one among the Palestinians is able to emigrate.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Who says that he must emigrate?
The questioner : No one, of course.
The Shaykh : So, what does this question mean? What is its purpose?
The questioner : But the legal ruling remains until, I mean, ability is achieved by some.
The Shaykh : I told you just now, I answered, my brother. The topic of emigration is general regarding the Algerians, and every day we are asked.
The questioner : I mentioned to them, by Allah, this, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Every day we are asked.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Regarding the Lebanese, every day we are asked, and so on.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So, we did not speak specifically about the Palestinians only.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So, if we assume, and I am not agreeing with this assumption, because as long as they are entering the Turkish expression from here, the state's opinion is entering, a kiosk for Palestine.
The questioner : By force.
The Shaykh : I mean, yes, by force.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : It is not possible that one, for example, in one way or another, emigrates by himself and saves himself, his religion, his land, and his children.
The questioner : It is possible, O my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : So, this theory, we answered it first on the assumption of accepting it, and second, I am not accepting it because[An-Nisa 4:97] I say without a doubt that their exit from Palestine is not a pleasure trip. Today there are harassments, there are surveillance, and so on, but not in the way they are imagining. Nevertheless, it is not like that. You do not assume, my brother, that for the one who is not able to emigrate, emigration is not obligatory. For the one who is not able to perform jihad, jihad is not obligatory.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : For the one who is not able to perform Hajj, Hajj is not obligatory. These are self-evident truths.
The questioner : I gave, O my Shaykh, for example, excuse me, I gave an example, O my Shaykh, regarding the Afghan jihad. I said, Shaykh Nasir issued a fatwa on the obligation of jihad and it being an individual obligation for every Muslim. From Jordan, how many responded? They said ten, or they can be counted on the fingers. I said, this is it. So, the ruling is tied to the one who is able.
The Shaykh : Then, look, now the contradiction. If they imagine that no one among the Palestinians is able to emigrate.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So why did this raging bull give such a sermon?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : He imagines that the people of Palestine will all respond and leave Palestine and congratulate the Jews that they received the land as a free gift.
The questioner : By Allah, I mentioned this.
The Shaykh : What is this?
The questioner : I mentioned this word for word, O my Shaykh, yesterday.
The Shaykh : This, may Allah bless you, indicates to you that the group.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Is in clear misguidance. They want, in any case, to show that al-Albani is wrong. No, by Allah, al-Albani is correct in a hundred percent. As for who is able to emigrate and who is not able, does not emigrate.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So, consult your heart, and if the one who issues fatwas consults you.
The questioner : Some of them mentioned that his Shaytan and his cursing upon you are nothing but personal outbursts, meaning he wants to satisfy a personal grudge.
The Shaykh : Now, is it clear, my brother, that a person who does not feel shame, who does not have modesty, exploits a pulpit that was placed for the remembrance of Allah, that he comes to accuse the innocent of disbelief and misguidance. The Shaykh of deception, and what? A Jew, or something like that...
The questioner : This, O my Shaykh, the man said, one said, okay, he said this, he said, no, by Allah, his disbelief is his inner self. He said, by Allah, he declared the Shaykh a disbeliever on the pulpit.
The Shaykh : What, my brother...
The Shaykh : That is not relevant to us. We say: whoever is able.
The questioner : He is coming from this standpoint, O my Shaykh. He says that now the Palestinian people are known to mean that they are not allowed to leave, nor to reside in any country. So, everyone is unable.

The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And it is not specifically regarding every Palestinian resident in Palestine. This ruling, as we said, I think on this occasion and others.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Whoever is able to it, we said, we brought a hadith, my brother:
offer prayer in standing condition; if you are unable to do so, then in sitting condition
صلِّ قائمًا ، فإن لم تستطِعْ فقاعدًاThe questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So, emigration is obligatory upon the one who is able. If we assume that no one among the Palestinians can emigrate, who says that he must emigrate? This is a statement that is not relevant.

The Shaykh : The answer has already been given. If we were in a place where we are all healthy, we narrated to you his saying (peace be upon him):
offer prayer in standing condition; if you are unable to do so, then in sitting condition: if you are then at your side
صلِّ قائمًا ، فإن لم تستطع فقاعدًا ، فإن لم تستطع فعلى جنبThe questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : What would we have done?
The questioner : There is nothing. I, O my Shaykh, I do not know.

Was not the earth of Allah spacious [enough] for you to emigrate therein?
أَلَمْ تَكُنْ أَرْضُ اللَّهِ وَاسِعَةً فَتُهَاجِرُوا فِيهَاThe questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : For the one who is not able to perform Hajj, Hajj is not obligatory. These are self-evident truths.
