The Obligation of Hijrah (emigration) to Allah

Abu Hanifah—may Allah have mercy on him—said: “Hammad ibn Ibrahim narrated to us from Ibn Masʿud (Allah be pleased with them) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

‘When acts of disobedience become rampant in a land and you are unable to change them, then leave that land for another and worship your Lord there.’

He also said: “A scholar related to me, from one of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, that whoever moves from a land where he fears fitnah (temptation) to a land where he does not, Allah will record for him the reward of seventy ṣiddīqs (most truthful believers).”
