Is it better to remain in Canada, with the accompanying religious trials for the resident and his children, or to accept work in companies that deal with usurious banks in Morocco until another job becomes available?
Scholars have unanimously agreed on the obligation to leave lands where a Muslim cannot feel safe regarding their faith, and to move to a country where they can feel safe concerning themselves and their faith. This obligation is particularly emphasized if the Muslim is a head of a family. One should not link migration to the availability of a specific job, for the Companions migrated to Abyssinia and Medina without a particular job, and be assured that Allah will facilitate your sustenance and work for you. If you are compelled to work in a company that deals with unlawful matters, you can negotiate with the employer to avoid forbidden acts and to keep your work within the permissible aspects. Allah facilitates matters for those who fear Him and provides for them from sources they do not anticipate. Therefore, resolve firmly to leave the land of tribulation to preserve your faith and uprightness.
