The Rambam moved to Eygpt after he had traveld numerous places where Jews had been persecuted.
He said living Eygpt they would be doing an aveirah everday they were there.
But atleast he could live and spread his works of yiddishkeit and educate movements there that were influencing the simple people already living in Eygpt. Thereby doing many more mitzvohs Exclamation

We see sometimes in life . That we have to look at the broader picture Exclamation

if it requires one step back to go two steps forward then sometimes it has to be done.
Thats when a mashpia and Rav come into the picture to help us do the right thing, but we must be open and willing to listen.
And when a rav or mashpia are not available we daven to Hashem for insight, as to what to do.

I have done that and it's worked b"h Very Happy

Taking a step back to go two steps forward - IT ALL DEPENDS

and when it entails a prohibition, it certainly requires a posek to decide!

an example - the halacha is: desecrate one Shabbos to save a life, to enable the person to observe many more Shabbosos

but we don't say that for every situation!
