Introducing the Lands of Hijrah – Disclaimer, General Advice, Rejecting the Kuffar’s mindset – Hijrah to a land, not to a ‘country’ and the background behind the proposing Hijrah lands.

Bismillah! Al Hamdulillah!
Wa AsSalatu AsSalamu A’ala Rasulallah!
AsSalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatuallh Wa Barakatuhu!

(1)
Disclaimer:

(A)
This is not a fatwa.
Rather a guideline from a personal point of view through an informed research effort.

(B)
And this is neither a direction biased to a group or a nation/ country but rather to the best interest of Muslims, Fi Sabilillah!

(C)
Hijrah is an Ebadah and every Ebadah in our Deen has a prescribed guideline.
Therefore, every Muslim should make a plan for Hijrah, and gain knowledge about that guideline. We tried to place that guideline for you on this site based on the Quran, Hadith and the Fatwa of the Haqq Ulama.

(D)
Then, having an understanding of the Islamic guidelines for Hijrah, every able Muslim should investigate and find his way as to what is the best place for Hijrah and then what is best suited for him according to his situation. We believe that a Muslim’s choosing of land for Hijrah could depend on many personal factors:
His knowledge and understanding of Deen,
His intention,
His Taqwa,
His Tawakkul,
His Courage,
His knowledge of the current corrupt world,
(Corrupt education, corrupt financial system, corrupt health system, corrupt food industry etc.)
His family situation,
His financial situation.

Therefore, there could be many choices, understandable.
And therefore, we come up with the following general advice.

(2)
General advice – Where to make Hijrah? How do you prioritise?:

(A)
Any Muslim-majority country, (even which is officially a ‘Land of Kufr’) is ‘100 times’ better than living in the Kuffar’s lands among the Mushrikeen, living under the Kuffar’s authorities and obeying the Kuffar’s Shariah. In fact, the difference could be Jannah and Jahannam, if somehow it is not for yourself but for sure for your generations. Allahu A’alm.

(B)
Then, A Muslim must try his best to move to any of the blessed lands that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam mentioned regarding the end of the time such as Sham, Yemen, and Khorasan.

(C)
After that, A Muslim must try his best to choose a Muslim-majority country that says in their constitution similar to ‘No laws shall be enacted which goes against the Shariah’, even though such few countries fall under the ‘Land of Kufr’ due to other contradictory factors in their constitutions.

And yet these countries are ‘100 times’ better than choosing those 42 Muslim-majority lands/ countries of absolute Kufr/ Kufr Akbar (18 of which declared secularism, 24 of which declared Sovereignty to people thus all these 42 countries adopted Kuffar’s Deen, democracy) that we mentioned in our previous articles.

(D)
Then, after that, of course, a Muslim must try his best to choose a Muslim-majority country (the remaining 10 countries) that is NOT officially a ‘Land of Kufr’ but there are other problems either with the authorities or with the environment. Again, these countries are ‘100 times’ better than those that fall in the categories described above (C).

After that let us take you through our journey to a few selected Hijrah lands beyond the frame of general advice and we have to say the following:

(3)
The background behind proposing our selected Hijrah lands:

My Brothers,
I recommend that you read the previous articles to know:
(1) The criteria for searching for a land of Hijrah,
(2) To understand the scarcity of a land which is FULLY governed by Allah’s Shariah,
(3) To know the difficulties of Hijrah, in terms of residency, to the most intended/ qualified lands, which is why we had begun our journey to search for a land with the following criteria in mind:

(A)
A land that is ruled by strong Islamic governance and therefore exists a strong Islamic environment where we can safely practice/ establish our Deen.

(B)
A land that will give us easy pathways towards Residency without going through the hardship of buying or investing a huge amount in property or business.

(4)
‘FORUM for Facilitating Global Hijrah (FFGH):

Here, in the ‘FORUM for Facilitating Global Hijrah (FFGH), we have been trying to work out the lands of Hijrah according to our knowledge based on Islamic guidelines of the safest lands for the Muslims in terms of protection of his Deen and the easiest place to settle with LIMITED BUDGET in the current world situation.

(5)
Understanding the Status of the Ummah – ‘Muslims’ in Kuffar’s Mindset’:

My brothers, let me tell you a disturbing fact and reality. The Kuffar has clearly shaped our minds so much so that we cannot think anything but according to their settings/ systems/ set-up of the world order. This is so heart-breaking. Kuffar has corrupted and manipulated anything and everything around our lives not only for the Muslims but also for humanity as a whole.

The Ebadah of Hijrah also didn’t remain out of their manipulation, Kuffar’s systems are so much settled in our minds that if we don’t take extraordinary measures, everything we think goes according to the systems of the Kuffar.

Why do we say this?
Firstly, Hijrah means moving away from the Kuffar’s authority to the Islamic authority, moving away from Kuffar’s land to the land of Islam, the land of Shariah. The question is, does a Muslim require a visa, or passport to move to a land of Shariah?
Absolutely not!

These countries, their borders, visas, and passport things have nothing to do when we decide about a land of Islam, a land for Hijrah. These things are just a new phenomena set by the Kuffar only after the WW2
So, why do we have to think according to the frame set by the Kuffar?

Secondly, do we have to look for the Land of Islam in the frame of a ‘country’ whether a ‘country’ implements Shariah or not?
Or should we look for a land, no matter where it is, whether the authority of that land is ruled by Shariah?
So, again, why do we have to put ourselves in the frame set by the Kuffar?

We must take ourselves out of the Kuffar’s mindset. We must remove things out of the Kuffar’s setup of the world system.

(6)
Think making Hijrah to a land, not to a ‘Country’

Al-Hamdulillah! This mindset made things easy for us to work out a land out of this ‘country-frame’.

Thus we came about a few lands that suit the above criteria and we have been working on those. Also, we have tried our best to work out off-grid living opportunities in all those lands.

In the next few articles, we are going to propose those lands and the Off-grid living projects to the Muslims living in the Kuffar’s lands.

May Allah accept from us.
May Allah protect us from obeying the Kuffar’s Shariah!
May Allah settle us in a land ruled by His Shariah!
May Allah make our Hijrah easy.
Ameen

List of the Muslim-majority countries those who INTENDED to legislate by the SHARIAH but followed ‘MAJORITY’ by adopting ‘Kuffar’s Deen’, democracy thus became the LANDS of KUFR.

Bismillah! Al Hamdulilah!
Wa AsSalatu AsSalamu A’ala Rasulillah!
AsSalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu

(1)
The light that was extinguished :

Wasn’t it astonishing knowing there are a few constitutions among the Muslim-majority countries those who mentioned that ‘the state would be governed by the Shariah Law’ or the wordings with similar meanings in their constitutions?

Well, at least it was for us! It was amazing to know those lands existed. At least, knowing that there are lands that can officially be regarded as the ‘lands of Islam‘.
But soon the amazement turned to despair!

Subhanallah!
What a heartbreaking fact it is when you see a country explicitly mention in its constitution that there will be no laws against the Quran and Sunnah yet they followed the Kuffar’s Deen by adopting the format of the ‘Majority’ component of democracy.

Though they followed democracy, they didn’t declare ‘sovereignty to the people’*, meaning, they didn’t intend to make their own laws or any laws against the Shairah but for the sake of collective opinions, they followed the form of democracy, the ‘majority’ component of the democracy.

Thus there is a clear line of deviation here from Allah’s Deen, from Allah’s Shariah which is that they applied the format of democracy to rule by Allah’s Shariah.

(2)
For the confused ones:

One may question,
What’s wrong in applying the format of democracy if they rule the country by Allah’s Shariah?
The answer is that in democracy it is obligatory to follow the majority while in Islam it is not. Therefore, to make something obligatory on Muslims which originated from the Kuffar’s system/ Kuffar’s ways is clearly following the Kuffar’s Deen.

You can say, this protects the Ameer from becoming a dictator while a decision based on majority opinion is safer.

We say,
(1) Allah’s Shariah did not make it obligatory for Muslims to follow the majority, rather it came from the ‘Shariah of the Kuffar’.
(2) We don’t go by what is logical, convenient and safer when it goes against our Deen.
(3) Therefore, applying this majority ruling on Muslim affairs by following the ‘Kuffar’s Shariah’ is clearly Haram.

The question is, can we call it Kufr?
We say we would evaluate it to the extent what is understood by the Hadith of Rasulullah Sallillahu Alaihi Wa Sallam where He said, (narrated by ‘Abd-Allah ibn ‘Umar)

“Whoever imitates a people is one of them.”
(Narrated by Abu Dawud, 3512; classed as sahih by al-Albani in Irwa al-Ghalil, 2691)

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah Rahimullah said:
“This at the very least indicates that it is Haram to imitate them, although the apparent meaning is that the one who imitates them is a Kafir.”
(Iqtida al-Sirat al-Mustaqim, 237)

https://islamqa.info/en/answers/45200/ruling-on-imitating-the-disbelievers

Based on this, we say a Muslim MUST REJECT the format of democracy which is clearly Haram and Kufr even though the intention is to rule by Allah’s Shariah.
And Allah knows best.
May Allah give them the strength to discard the aspect of democracy from their constitutions.
May Allah make these lands a true Islamic land.


(3)
So, who are those Muslim-majority countries?

Here is the list:
Pakistan (96% Muslim)
Somalia (99%)
The Maldives (98%)

Subhanallah! Based on our research on the official status according to the constitutions, we found that these countries are the second-best countries among all the 52 Muslim-majority countries/ lands in the world.

(4)
So, let’s see what these constitutions say about Allah’s Shariah:

Pakistan:
Article 227:
“All existing laws shall be brought in conformity with the Injunctions of Islam as laid down in the Holy Quran and Sunnah, in this part referred to as the Injunctions of Islam, and no law shall be enacted which is repugnant to such Injunctions.”

https://www.pakistani.org/pakistan/constitution/part9.html
https://www.constituteproject.org/constitution/Pakistan_2018

The Amendment of Constitution 18th June 1991
Article 3.
Supremacy of Shari’ah.
(l)
“The Shari’ah that is to say the Injunctions of Islam as laid in the Holy Qur’an and Sunnah, shall be the supreme law of Pakistan.”
https://www.pakistani.org/pakistan/legislation/1991/actXof1991.html

The Zina Ordinance (also referred to as the Zina laws) is part of the Hadood Ordinances, promulgated in 1979 by General Zia-ul-Haq, President of Pakistan as a first step towards implementing Shariah Law.

The text states:
“Whereas it is necessary to modify the existing law relating to Zina so as to bring it in conformity with the injunctions of Islam as set out in the Holy Qur’an and Sunnah”.
https://www.pakistani.org/pakistan/legislation/1991/actXof1991.html

Somalia:
Article 2.3:
“No law which is not compliant with the general principles of Shari’ah can be enacted.”

Article 3. Founding Principles
3.1
“The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Somalia is based on the foundations of the Holy Quran and the Sunna of our prophet Mohamed (PBUH) and protects the higher objectives of Shari’ah and social justice.”

The Maldives:
Article 10:
“No law contrary to any tenet of Islam shall be enacted in the Maldives”

Article 70. Legislative authority:
c. “The People’s Majlis shall not pass any law that contravenes any tenet of Islam.”

(5)
And what do their constitutions state about adopting democracy?

Pakistan:
The democratic process of election and legislation is described all over the places in the constitution of Pakistan under those particular aspects. One may read from here:
https://www.constituteproject.org/constitution/Pakistan_2018

Somalia:
Article 1.1
“Somalia is a federal, sovereign, and democratic republic founded on inclusive representation of the people and a multiparty system and social justice.”

The Maldives:
The case of the Maldives is different from that of Pakistan and Somalia.
They have not only adopted democracy but also attributed ‘sovereignty to its people’.

Sovereignty:
Article 4. Powers of the citizens
“All the powers of the State of the Maldives are derived from, and remain with, the citizens.”

Article 5. Legislative power:
“All legislative power in the Maldives is vested in the People’s Majlis.”

Democracy:
Article 87. Voting
“Unless otherwise provided in this Constitution, all decisions of the People’s Majlis shall be decided by a majority of votes of the members present and voting.”

Therefore, the Maldives is already been on the list of 24 Muslim-majority countries those who attributed sovereignty to people that fall under the category of ‘Land of Kufr’ that we mentioned in the previous article here:

Land of ISLAM vs Land of KUFR – Evaluating the STATUS of the Muslim-populated lands – (4) List of the countries which attributed SOVEREIGNTY to the people and thus became the Lands of KUFR.

The reference to the constitutions can be found here:
Somalia: https://www.constituteproject.org/constitution/Somalia_2012
Malidvies: https://www.constituteproject.org/constitution/Maldives_2008

The Fatwa regarding the majority in democracy is Kufr:

The Fatwa regarding this from Islamqa.info which runs under the supervision of Sheikh Muhammad Saleh Al-Munazzid, Hafizullah:

“By examining this topic (referencing all Shariah sources, mentioned in the link below) from different angles, it becomes clear that what is counted as KUFR AKBAR is the following”:

“Discussing Sharee‘ah in parliament and voting on it; this indicates that implementing sharee‘ah is conditional upon a majority vote.”

https://islamqa.info/en/answers/974/the-kufr-of-one-who-rules-according-to-other-than-what-allaah-revealed

And Allah knows best.
May Allah make it beneficial.
May Allah set us in a land where we will be able to safeguard our Deen and Dunya and safeguard our generations from following Kuffar’s Deen and obeying ‘Kuffar’s Shariah’.
May Allah forgive our sins.
May Allah make our Hijrah easy.

List of the Muslim-majority countries those who made Shariah as the ‘Basic’/ ‘Fundamental’/ ‘Main’/ ‘Major’/ ‘Principal’ source of legislation thus became the LANDS of KUFR.

(1)
In this article, we will reveal the mockery of Allah’s Shariah by those state authorities and how they fool the masses by their clever wordings in the constitutions making people think that they are ruling by Allah’s Shariah while in reality it is not. May Allah give us strength.

A person with a regular mind might surprise and question this Fatwa, ‘How is it Kufr for a country when its constitution says that the ‘Shariah is the main source of legislation’?

(2)
Our learned and Haqq Ulama had the answer:
The Fatwa regarding this from Islamqa.info which runs under the supervision of Sheikh Muhammad Saleh Al-Munazzid, Hafizullah:

“By examining this topic (referencing all Shariah sources, mentioned in the link below) from different angles, it becomes clear that what is counted as KUFR AKBAR is the following”:

“Making Sharee‘ah a secondary or main source, along with other sources of law. Even when they say that Sharee‘ah is the primary source of legislation, this is still KUFAR AKBAR, because it means that they are allowing the adoption of laws from other sources too.”

https://islamqa.info/en/answers/974/the-kufr-of-one-who-rules-according-to-other-than-what-allaah-revealed

(3)
And here is our simple answer for the simple minds:
It is so commonly understood by every single Muslim as such that no Muslim needs a reference for this that if someone leaves/ rejects ONE single law from the Shariah of Allah and chooses something else, that is enough to make him a Kafir.

Having that common understanding of Allah’s Shariah, now let me put those wordings in a proper perspective for an easy to understandable way.

What do you think of an organization when it says, “This is our main office”? What picture do you carry for that organization?
You would automatically assume that it has other offices or branch offices or regional offices.
Similarly, when a constitution says, “Shariah is the main source of legislation”, it is obvious that it means there is scope for legislation from other sources too.

Put a similar scenario to the word ‘Principal source’ as ‘Principal Office’.
It means it has other offices too.

Regarding the words “Basic” or “Fundamental,” consider this example:

Someone has a “basic” knowledge of something. What does that mean?
It automatically suggests that there exist the next levels of knowledge of the topic such as intermediate, advanced and so on.

This is the intention behind the inclusion of “Basic” or “Fundamental” in the constitution. It implies that while Islamic Shariah would remain foundational, there is the possibility of incorporating other intermediate or advanced laws (Aujubillah) into the constitution. And that’s exactly what they did. Let us prove you that.

(4)
Which countries fall in this category?
Bahrain (81% Muslim)
Egypt (95%)
Filistin (98%)
Iraq (99%)
Kuwait (95%)
Libya (97%)
Oman (87%)
Qatar (77%)
Syria (92%)
UAE (76%)

(5)
Among these 10 countries mentioned above, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Qatar, Libya, Kuwait and Syria have attributed SOVEREIGNTY to people and adopted DEMOCRACY, therefore, they are already on the list of Lands of Kufr.

These are those who have gone far astray. They had not only adopted democracy but also attributed ‘Sovereignty to people’ even though they have mentioned Shariah as the ‘Basic’/ ‘Fundamental’/ ‘Main’/ ‘Major’/ ‘Principal’ sources of legislation.

Subhanallah!
This is an unbelievable fact.
This is like mocking Allah’s Shariah.
The constitution seems like a drama script to the authorities of these nations. These nations have already attributed Sovereignty to people and adopted democracy though they have mentioned Shariah as the ‘Basic/ Main/ Principal source of legislation. Thus they made the land having 3 layers of Kufr.

One is attributing Sovereignty to people.
Another is adopting democracy.
and the next is taking Allah’s Shariah as the ‘Basic’/ ‘Fundamental’/ ‘Main’/ ‘Major’/ ‘Principal’ source of legislation.

(6)
What remains from this group of 10 countries from the list (2) above are:
Filisitn, Oman and UAE

And things go almost the same with these countries as well.
Among these countries, Filistin adopted democracy (but not sovereignty to people)
Oman and UAE enacted other Laws overriding Shariah Law.

Yes, there’s no surprise of them in adopting democratic system when these courtiers have already taken Allah’s Shariah as the ‘Basic’/ ‘Fundamental’ ‘Main’/ ‘Principal’ source of legislation.

Therefore, all the above 10 countries those who mentioned Shariah as the ‘Basic’/ ‘Fundamental’/ ‘Main’/ ‘Major’/ ‘Principal’ source of legislation prove their playfulness with Allah’s Shariah.

(7)
An example of this is manifested by OMAN.

OMAN (87% Muslim)
Constitution – Oman 1996 (rev. 2011)

Even though Oman didn’t enact Secularism, neither attributed Sovereignty to the People nor adopted democracy, it enacted a few laws (Kuffar’s Law) which Allah mentioned as ‘comes from their desire’. (Sura Sad 38:26 and Sura Furqan 25:43)

So, read the constitution of Oman and the law that they have enacted by rejecting Allah’s Shariah;

Women’s testimony is made equal to a man

Article 17:
“All Citizens are equal before the Law and share the same public rights and duties. There shall be no discrimination amongst them on the ground of gender, origin, colour, language, religion, sect, domicile, or social status.”

And the outcome of that ‘equal’ status of all gender (men and women) is manifested by the following law:
(Law No. 63 of 2008 and Article 259/ 2018 Penal Code)

Reference 1:
“in 2008, Omani legislation passed a law that declared that courts would regard testimonies from both men and women as equal.”

Reference 3:
“Adult women may now be considered full persons before the law if
recent amendments to the rules of evidence are fully enforced. Pursuant
to Law No. 63 of 2008, the testimony of men and women is now deemed
equal in court proceedings, although it is unclear whether this will be fully
implemented throughout the legal system, particularly in family courts.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Status_of_women%27s_testimony_in_Islam#:~:text=OIC%20countries%20where%20women’s%20testimony,Oman

What’s the law regarding women’s testimony in Allah’s Shariah?
2 women are equal to 1 man. (Sura Baqarah 2:282).
So, who do they take as their Ilaha, as their RABB?
The UN.

The Law of Zina:

“Under article 259 of the 2018 penal code, consensual intercourse outside marriage is punishable with between six months to three years’ imprisonment, and at least two years if either person is married.”
https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2019/country-chapters/oman

What’s the Shariah Law for Zina?
What Allah said?
“The woman or man found guilty of Zina, flog each one of them with a hundred lashes. Let not pity them without you applying the ruling of Allah and the Last Day. And let a group of the believers witness their punishment.” [An-Nur 24:2]

What’s the Fatwa regarding ZIna?
“A virgin committing Zina with a virgin: one hundred lashes for each and banishment for one year for the man. And a married committing Zina with a married: one hundred lashes and stoning.”
[as recorded by Muslim, Ahmad, and others.]

“As for those who are married and have weakened their Imaan to such a level that they get involved in Zina even after the presence of their spouses, then Allah has subjected the death penalty for a married adulterer.”

“The blood of a Muslim, who testifies that there is none to worship except Allah and that Muhammad is Allah’s Messenger, does not become permissible for the death penalty except for one of the three acts: a man who commits Zina after marriage- for which he would be stoned; a man who apostates and goes out fighting against Allah and His Messenger- for which he would be killed or crucified or banished from the land; and one who kills a human soul- for which he would be killed.”
[Fatwa Irwa’ ul-Ghalil no. 2196]

The law about the age of Marriage in Oman:

“The minimum age for marriage is 18 for both males and females.
Marriage of persons aged less than 18 is prohibited, except if approved by a judge after verifying that the marriage would be beneficial.”
https://www.undp.org/sites/g/files/zskgke326/files/migration/arabstates/Oman-Country-Assessment—English.pdf

Where does this age limit come from?

The ‘Article 1’ of ‘The complete United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC)’ says the following:

“For the purposes of the present Convention, a child means every human being below the age of eighteen (18) years unless under the law applicable to the child, a majority is attained earlier.”

While in Islamic Shariah Law, marriage could take place even before a child attains puberty:
https://islamqa.info/en/answers/22442/on-acting-and-the-ruling-on-marrying-young-girls

So, where does this age limit come from?
From their RABB, UN.
They took the UN as their Rabb by adopting this age limit of marriage to a Muslim.

Among the 52 Muslim-majority countries, we have already eliminated a total of 42 countries as the lands of Kufr. 18 of them for being Secular and 24 of them for attributing Sovereignty to people/nations.

In this article, we will mention those who have adopted part of the Shariah Law in their constitutions along with part of the Kuffar’s Law thus eliminating those countries from our prospective Hijrah list for being the lands of Kufr.

And the evidence of these countries/ lands being the ‘Lands of Kufr’ are the following:
Taken from the Fatwa from islamqa.info which was sourced to ‘Sheikh Saleh Al-Munajjid Hafizullah’:

“By examining this topic (see the link below) from different angles, it becomes clear that what is counted as KUFR AKBAR is the following:

3. “Imposing man-made laws, such as Italian, French, German law, etc., to judge between the people, or mixing these laws and Sharee‘ah, as Genghis Khan did in his book al-Yaasiq, which combined laws from different sources; the ‘ulamaa’ (scholars) ruled that he was a kaafir.”

4. “Confining the role of sharee‘ah courts to so-called “civil” matters, such as marriage, divorce and inheritance.”

5. Setting up non-sharee‘ah courts”.

https://islamqa.info/en/answers/974/the-kufr-of-one-who-rules-according-to-other-than-what-allaah-revealed

In our preliminary research we have found the following countries fall into this criteria:

Algeria (98% Muslim)
Malaysia (60%)
Oman (87%)
The Gambia (96%)
Tunisia (99.50%)
UAE (76%)

Please note, among these countries, Algeria, Malaysia, The Gambia and Tunisia are already on the ‘List of the Lands of Kufr’ for (1) attributing Sovereignty to people and (2) adopting democracy and now, they also fall in the third layer of Kufr for (3) enacting specific Kuffar’s Law besides Allah’s Shariah that we are discussing in this article.

OMAN (87% Muslim)

Reference:
“The Malaysian court system is based on the UK legal system familiar to those from common law jurisdictions, but it also incorporates distinct characteristics in the form of Islamic religious courts and two separate High Courts for the Peninsula and for the Borneo states.”

Dual Legal System
“Civil Law and Sharia Law: Malaysia has a dual legal system where civil law governs most areas, while Sharia law applies specifically to Muslims in certain matters.”

United Arab Emirates (UAE) (76% Muslim)
Constitution – 1971 (rev. 2009)

Example (1): Alcohol Law:
Article (313)
1. “There shall be no punishment for consuming, possession or trading in alcoholic drinks in the situations and at places allowed as per applicable legislation.”

Amendment of laws:
“The UAE penal code was updated in 2020 to remove all legal forms of punishment prescribed in Sharia law, except for blood money payments;”

Federal Decree Law No. (15) of 2020
“Amending Certain Provisions of the Federal Law No. (3) of 1987
Concerning the Penal Code” states the following in Article (1):

“The provisions of the Islamic Shari’a shall apply to the retribution and blood money crimes. Other crimes and their respective punishments shall be provided for in accordance with the provisions of this Law and other applicable penal codes.”

Example (2): Law of Zina (Adultery):
Adultery (molestation) is punishable only when it is less than 14 years of age and if it is not done with ‘free will’:

Article (356)
“Without prejudice to the previous two Articles, whoever commits sexual molestation of any person through coercion, threat or deceit, shall be subject to the punishment of temporary imprisonment.”

“Voluntary sexual molestation shall be subject to the same punishment provided for in the previous paragraph, if the age of the victim, male or female, is less than fourteen years or if the victim is of no free will due to young age, lunacy, or insanity.”

https://www.moj.gov.ae/assets/2021/Federal%20Decree%20Law%20No.%20(15)%20of%202020%20Concerning%20the%20Penal%20Code.pdf.aspx

What do you get from this law?
Whatever way the wordings are placed, it means, voluntary sexual ‘molestation’ to/ with a over 14 years old and with the ‘free will’ is not a prob.

So, these two lands clearly proved their intention of mentioning Shariah law as the ‘Basic’/ ‘Fundamental’/ ‘Main’/ ‘Major’/ ‘Principal’ source of legislation as they modified Shariah Law according to their desire, thus became the lands of KUFR.

The GAMBIA (96% Muslim)
Constitution: 1996 (rev. 2018)

Chapter 2.7. 7. The laws of The Gambia:
d. “the common law and principles of equity;”
“e. “customary law so far as concerns members of the communities to which it applies;”
f. “the Sharia as regards matters of marriage, divorce and inheritance among members of the communities to which it applies.”

Thus by enacting the laws opposite to Allah’s Law, these countries rejected Allah’s Shariah. which is KUFR AKBAR.

And Allah knows best.
May Allah guide these ‘Muslims’ to Tawheed.
May Allah set us in a land where we will be able to safeguard our Deen and Dunya and safeguard our generations from following and obeying Kuffar’s Shariah!.
May Allah forgive our sins.
May Allah make our Hijrah easy.
May Allah make this finding beneficial.
