Ustadh, may I make hijrah alone if I have no mahram? Practicing Islam here is becoming harder: mixed universities, verbal and physical harassment, bans on Islamic books, wearing niqab is really difficult too , Studying the deen is difficult. I fear for my deen and safety.

Imām al-Nawawī said "However, they also agreed that she must migrate from that land to the Abode of Islam even if she does not have a maḥram. The distinction between the two cases is that her remaining in the Abode of disbelief is unlawful if she is unable to openly practice her religion and fears for her religion and her life." Sharḥ Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (9/104). And Abū al-‘Abbās al-Qurṭubī said: It has been agreed that it is obligatory for her to travel without a maḥram if she fears for her religion and her life. End quote from al-Mufhim limā Ashkala min Talkhīṣ Kitāb Muslim (11/6).
