How can I emigrate for the sake of Allah?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Immigration (Hijra) for the sake of Allah is the transition from lands of (polytheism) to lands of Islam. Hijra may also be from lands of shirk to other lands of shirk if the latter are less harmful. People in relation to Hijra are of three types: one who is unable to emigrate due to incapacitation, and thus it is not obligatory upon him; one who is able to uphold the rituals of his religion and is safe from tribulation, for whom it is recommended but not obligatory; and one who is able to emigrate but cannot uphold the rituals of his religion or is not safe from tribulation, for whom Hijra is obligatory.
