If a Muslim is residing in a country where they are unable to safeguard their religion due to abundant temptations and sins, it becomes obligatory for them to seek a means to preserve their faith, such as relocating to their home country or any other place, or bringing their spouse and family, if possible. Provision is from Allah, and "whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out and will provide for him from where he does not expect."
