The Importance of Living With Your People Wherever You Want

The Muslims of Spain were forced to live in Darul Khufr after the Reconquered Land of Andalus. The Maliki school considered it impermissible for a Muslim to willingly and voluntarily give up living in Darul Islam and go and live in Dar ul Khufr. So they became very strict on this issue, predominantly fatwa is that it is not allowed to live in those areas. They had to hide their Islam or emigrate or they had to be forced to convert by torturing them.
