Question:
The first letter in this episode is one that reached the program from Iraq - Baghdad, sent by one of the brothers there, who says (E. B. W.), asking and saying: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 3899 Is this hadith authentic? And if it is authentic, does it apply to our time? I hope for a detailed explanation of the answer? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow his guidance. As for what follows:
This hadith is authentic, and it was narrated by the two Shaykhs, al-Bukhari and Muslim, in the two Sahihs, from the hadith of Aisha, and from the hadith of Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) from all of them. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1864 And its meaning, according to the scholars, is: there is no hijrah from Makkah after Allah conquered it for His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The meaning is not the negation of hijrah entirely, no. The intended meaning is: there is no hijrah after the conquest, meaning: from Makkah to al-Madinah; because Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) made it a land of Islam after its conquest, so there remained no need for hijrah from it. Rather, the Muslims there remain there.
As for hijrah itself, it remains; for this reason, it came in another authentic hadith:Sunan Abi Dawud 2479Sahih (Al-Albani) So whoever is in the lands of shirk (associating partners with Allah) and is able to migrate, it is obligatory for him to migrate, as Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) said: [An-Nisa 4:97] EXCEPT FOR THOSE WHO ARE WEAK AMONG THE MEN AND WOMEN AND CHILDREN, WHO ARE UNABLE TO FIND A WAY AND WHO ARE UNABLE TO FIND A DIRECTION SO FOR THESE, MAYBE ALLAH WILL FORGIVE THEM, AND ALLAH IS FORGIVING, MOST MERCIFUL [An-Nisa: 98-99].
Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him) said regarding this verse: The verse indicates the obligation of hijrah. He said: And this is agreed upon by the scholars that hijrah is obligatory upon everyone who is in the lands of shirk (associating partners with Allah) and is unable to manifest his religion. It is obligatory for him to migrate to Islamic lands or to lands where he is able to manifest his religion, except for those who are unable, as the Exalted said: [An-Nisa: 98] meaning: in terms of financial support, [An-Nisa: 98] meaning: they do not know the way, they do not know the path to go. [An-Nisa: 99] ("Maybe") from Allah is obligatory. The meaning is: so these are forgiven, the unable man and the unable woman, and likewise the small children who follow others and have no strength except through Allah and then through their families. So when they grow up and become accountable, it becomes obligatory for them to migrate, if they are able, from the lands of shirk to the lands of Islam, from lands where they are unable to manifest their religion to lands where they are able to manifest their religion.
And the meaning of manifesting the religion is: calling to the oneness of Allah and sincerity to Allah, establishing the prayer, and establishing the religious rites. So if he is able to do that in his land which contains disbelief, hijrah is not obligatory upon him, if he is able to manifest his religion, by worshipping Allah alone, calling to tawhid (the oneness of Allah), denying shirk (associating partners with Allah), commanding prayer, praying, and so on, then there is no blame on him. But if his residence in the land of shirk is more beneficial for the Muslims and better, he remains; otherwise, he migrates to avoid danger and to be cautious of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). For this reason, it is prescribed to send callers to the lands of disbelief so that they call people to the oneness of Allah, and so that they teach people the Shari'ah (Islamic sacred law) of Allah, if they are people of knowledge and virtue and do not fear fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) for themselves. Then their going to the lands of the disbelievers for da'wah (calling others to Islam), advising the truth, and directing to good is a required matter, as the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them and grant them satisfaction) did. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, Your Eminence! Do Islamic minorities fall under this hadith?
The Shaykh: They fall under it like the lands. The minority is like a village. If the minority manifest their religion and are able to establish the religious rites, such as the oneness of Allah, establishing the prayer, and calling to good, hijrah is not obligatory upon them and it is not required of them.
But if they are in danger and unable to manifest their religion, then it becomes obligatory upon them if they are able. But if they are not able, then Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) forgives them.

The first letter in this episode is one that reached the program from Iraq - Baghdad, sent by one of the brothers there, who says (E. B. W.), asking and saying: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Narrated Mujahid bin Jabir Al-Makki: `Abdullah bin `Umar used to say, "There is no more Hijrah (i.e. migration) after the Conquest of Mecca."
لا هجرة بعد الفتحAnswer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow his guidance. As for what follows:
This hadith is authentic, and it was narrated by the two Shaykhs, al-Bukhari and Muslim, in the two Sahihs, from the hadith of Aisha, and from the hadith of Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) from all of them. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
There is no migration after the Conquest (of Mecca), but Jihad and sincere intention. When you are asked to set out (for the cause of Islam), you should set out,
لا هجرة بعد الفتح، ولكن جهاد ونية، وإذا استنفرتم فانفرواAs for hijrah itself, it remains; for this reason, it came in another authentic hadith:
Migration will not end until repentance ends
لا تنقطع الهجرة حتى تنقطع التوبةIndeed, those whom the angels take [in death] while wronging themselves - [the angels] will say, "In what [condition] were you?" They will say, "We were oppressed in the land." The angels will say, "Was not the earth of Allah spacious [enough] for you to emigrate therein?" For those, their refuge is Hell - and evil it is as a destination.
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَوَفَّاهُمُ الْمَلائِكَةُ ظَالِمِي أَنفُسِهِمْ قَالُوا فِيمَ كُنتُمْ قَالُوا كُنَّا مُسْتَضْعَفِينَ فِي الأَرْضِ قَالُوا أَلَمْ تَكُنْ أَرْضُ اللَّهِ وَاسِعَةً فَتُهَاجِرُوا فِيهَا فَأُوْلَئِكَ مَأْوَاهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ وَسَاءَتْ مَصِيرًا Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him) said regarding this verse: The verse indicates the obligation of hijrah. He said: And this is agreed upon by the scholars that hijrah is obligatory upon everyone who is in the lands of shirk (associating partners with Allah) and is unable to manifest his religion. It is obligatory for him to migrate to Islamic lands or to lands where he is able to manifest his religion, except for those who are unable, as the Exalted said:
Except for the oppressed among men, women and children who cannot devise a plan
إِلَّا الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ وَالْوِلْدَانِ لا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ حِيلَةًnor are they directed to a way -
وَلا يَهْتَدُونَ سَبِيلًاFor those it is expected that Allah will pardon them
فَأُوْلَئِكَ عَسَى اللَّهُ أَنْ يَعْفُوَ عَنْهُمْAnd the meaning of manifesting the religion is: calling to the oneness of Allah and sincerity to Allah, establishing the prayer, and establishing the religious rites. So if he is able to do that in his land which contains disbelief, hijrah is not obligatory upon him, if he is able to manifest his religion, by worshipping Allah alone, calling to tawhid (the oneness of Allah), denying shirk (associating partners with Allah), commanding prayer, praying, and so on, then there is no blame on him. But if his residence in the land of shirk is more beneficial for the Muslims and better, he remains; otherwise, he migrates to avoid danger and to be cautious of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation).
