"In principle, if a Muslim living in a country can not perform his religion as freely as ordained, and if he knew that in other than his country, he would be more capable of fulfilling his duties toward Allah and he would become more steady in his worship, his migration becomes genuine." Regarding migration from a non-Muslim country to a Muslim country, the jurisprudents of Islam have differentiated between two cases:
The first, if he is capable to demonstrate his religion in a non-Muslim country and he is not afraid of being persecuted because of it, then his migration to a Muslim country becomes non-obligatory, however, it is preferable if he can.
The second, if he is unable to demonstrate his religion freely in a non-Muslim country, then his residency in that country becomes prohibited, and his migration to a Muslim country becomes obligatory if he can, otherwise he is religiously excused until he can.
