Staying to Teach the People Is Better Than Migrating for a Student of Knowledge

Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains that if Muslims in a land are in need of a student of knowledge, remaining with them to teach, call to Allah ﷻ, and guide them is better and more beneficial than migrating elsewhere.

Questioner:

A student of knowledge used [to live] in his country. He then migrated to Saudi Arabia in order to safeguard his religion, fearing for himself the trials and tribulations in his country, even though the people in his country are in great need of him..”

Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān:

No, if a student of knowledge is needed by the Muslims in another land, then staying with them is better. Staying with them and calling them to Allāh ﷻ, enlightening them of their religion, staying with them has benefits. Calling them to Allāh ﷻ and directing them Muslims there is better than migrating to Saudi Arabia.
