Q: I am a young Muslim man. I live in a country where there are too many Fitnahs (temptations), and Islam has become strange in the hearts of those who adopt it. I tried to give up sins but I could not, as the environment where I live imposes this on me. Can I
immigrate to Muslim lands to perform acts of `Ibadah (worship) freely? Please bear in mind that my parents live with me here, and I do not want to leave them alone.
Please advise and guide me to the right path and the most suitable solution.

A:
If you cannot take your parents with you to another country to preserve your religion, and they need you with them, you have to stay with them and behave kindly with them. You are excused for not immigrating, and you take the same ruling as them. This is according to Allah's saying,
Except the weak ones among men, women and children who cannot devise a plan, nor are they able to direct their way.
These are they whom Allâh is likely to forgive them, and Allâh is Ever Oft-Pardoning, Oft-Forgiving.
Allah (Exalted be He) also says,
So keep your duty to Allâh and fear Him as much as you can
Allah (Exalted be He) is the One Who guides to the straight path.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
