Verse98

(98) إِلاَّ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاء وَالْوِلْدَانِ لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُونَ حِيلَةً وَلاَ يَهْتَدُونَ سَبِيلاً

98. " Except the feeble among the men, women, and children, who neither have in their power the means nor do they know any way. "
Commentary:
Those who know the truth and are able to move are around and change the environment are not among the oppressed.

These persons have not any excuse for the abandonment of emigration.
Then, those who have neither any device to ward off infidelity nor any way toward the right, are the oppressed and such people have no religious obligation. (A tradition narrated from Imam Baqir, cited in tafsir-us-Safi, vol.1, p.454.)
However, the real apologries are accepted, but seeking excuses are not.
" Except the feeble among the men, women, and children, who neither have in their power the means nor do they know any way. "
