The answer

The basic principle is that it is not permissible to emigrate and reside in lands of disbelief. However, it is permissible for someone who does not feel safe for himself, his religion, or his family in his own country, and cannot find a Muslim country to shelter him or finds it difficult to do so, provided that he feels safe for himself and his religion in those lands. He must strive to preserve his religion and minimize mixing with people and being present in places of temptation.
