2569. Bahz bin Hakîm narrated from his father that his grandfather said: "I said: 'O Prophet of Allâh! I did not come to you until I had sworn more than this many times' - the number of fingers on his hands - 'that I would never come to you or follow your religion. I am a man
who does not know anything except that which Allâh and His Messenger teach me. I ask you by the face of Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, with what has your Lord sent you to us? He said: 'With Islam.' I said: 'What are the signs of Islam?' He said: 'To say: I submit my face to Allâh and give up Shirk, and, to establish the Salâh and to pay Zakâh. Each Muslim is sacred and inviolable to his fellow Muslim; they support one another. Allâh does not accept any deed from an idolator after he becomes a Muslim, until he departs from the idolators and joins the Muslims.'" (Hasan)

Commentary
So to say, emigration or Hijrah is not an indispensable requisite of Islam; its decision will be made after assaying the whole situation and circumstances. Neither residence in every domain of disbelief (Dârul Kufr) is legitimate, nor is emigration from every domain of disbelief compulsory or requisite. While the requisite mentioned was prior to the conquest of Makkah.
