Is hijrah obligatory for those who feel vulnerable in their religion?

Dear Brothers & Sisters,
As-Salaamu-Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)
One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:
If a person is vulnerable and cannot feel safe from temptation in his country, is hijrah obligatory on the Muslim in this case, and to where should he migrate?

Answer:

Praise be to Allaah. 

If the situation is as you describe, and a Muslim feels vulnerable with regard to himself and his religious commitment in the face of temptations in his own country, then it is prescribed for him to migrate – if he can – to a land where he will feel safe.

And Allaah is the source of strength. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions, and grant them peace.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah's Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
