Is hijrah obligatory for those who feel vulnerable in their religion?
Question: 3021
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
If the situation is as you describe, and a Muslim feels vulnerable with regard to himself and his religious commitment in the face of temptations in his own country, then it is prescribed for him to migrate – if he can – to a land where he will feel safe.
And Allaah is the source of strength. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions, and grant them peace.
