📖 Explanation of the Verse on Those Unable to Make Hijrah — Surah An-Nisa 4:98-99 In this video, we present the words of Shaykh Salih Aal al-Shaykh (may Allah preserve him) from his explanation of Thalathat al-Usul, where he clarifies the ruling on those who wish to make hijrah (migration for the sake of Allah) but are unable to do so due to modern-day obstacles such as visa systems, legal restrictions, or lack of means. The Shaykh explains how these individuals fall under the category mentioned in Surah An-Nisa 4:98-99, where Allah pardons those who are genuinely subdued, incapable, and without any means or guidance to leave the land of shirk for the land of Islam. 🕋 Verse Quoted (Muhsin Khan Translation): “Except those who are (really) weak and oppressed—men, women, and children—who have no means nor (a guide) to direct them to a way out. For these there is hope that Allah will forgive them, and Allah is Ever Oft-Pardoning, Oft-Forgiving.” (Surah An-Nisa 4:98-99) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 Official Source (Arabic): Between (18:30 - 19:47) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=batpIG848eo&t=1293s 📌 This reference is also found in Shaykh Salih Aal al-Shaykh’s explanation of Thalathat al-Usul, at the bottom of page 215: https://archive.org/details/00976-pdf/page/n215/mode/2up ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ Authentic and True — From the Scholars to You ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ #Hijrah #Tawheed #ShaykhSalihAalalShaykh #ThalathatAlUsul #Quran #Islam #Tafsir #Salafi #Aqeedah #MuhsinKhan #SurahAnNisa
