لِوُجُوبِ الْهِجْرَةِ حِينَئِذٍ ، قَالَ فِي الْمُغْنِي ص ٤٥٧ جـ ٨ فِي الْكَلَامِ عَلَى أَقْسَامِ النَّاسِ فِي الْهِجْرَةِ : أَحَدُهَا مَنْ تَجِبُ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ مَنْ يَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهَا وَلَا يُمْكِنُهُ إِظْهَارُ دِينِهِ وَلَا يُمْكِنُهُ مِنْ إِقَامَةِ وَاجِبَاتِ دِينِهِ مَعَ الْمُقَامِ بَيْنَ الْكُفَّارِ فَهَذَا تَجِبُ عَلَيْهِ الْهِجْرَةُ لِقَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: ﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَوَفَّاهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ ظَالِمِي أَنفُسِهِمْ قَالُوا فِيمَ كُنتُمْ قَالُوا كُنَّا مُسْتَضْعَفِينَ فِي الْأَرْضِ قَالُوا أَلَمْ تَكُنْ أَرْضُ اللَّهِ وَاسِعَةً فَتُهَاجِرُوا فِيهَا فَأُولَئِكَ مَأْوَاهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ وَسَاءَتْ مَصِيرًا﴾ [سُورَةُ النِّسَاءِ، الْآيَةُ

Regarding the obligation of migration at that time, it is stated in Al-Mughni, page 457, volume 8, in the discussion on the categories of people regarding migration: 'The first of these is the one for whom it is obligatory, and he is the one who is capable of it but cannot manifest his religion, nor is he able to perform the duties of his religion while residing among the disbelievers; for this person, migration is obligatory, due to the saying of the Almighty: "Indeed, those whom the angels take [in death] while they are wronging themselves - [the angels] will say, 'In what [condition] were you?' They will say, 'We were oppressed in the land.' They will say, 'Was not the earth of Allah spacious [enough] for you to emigrate therein?' For those, their refuge is Hell - and evil it is as a destination." [Surat An-Nisa, verse 97].'

وَهَذَا وَعِيدٌ شَدِيدٌ يَدُلُّ عَلَى الْوُجُوبِ، وَلِأَنَّ الْقِيَامَ بِوَاجِبِ دِينِهِ وَاجِبٌ عَلَى مَنْ قَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ وَالْهِجْرَةُ مِنْ ضَرُورَةِ الْوَاجِبِ وَتَتِمَّتِهِ، وَمَا لَا يَتِمُّ الْوَاجِبُ إِلَّا بِهِ فَهُوَ وَاجِبٌ

This is a severe threat that indicates obligation, and because performing the duties of one's religion is obligatory for whoever is capable of it, and migration is a necessity and a completion of that obligation, and whatever an obligation cannot be fulfilled without is itself obligatory.
