Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I emigrated to these blessed lands to reside and work with the intention of fleeing with my religion from the trials and emigrating for the sake of religion, praise be to Allah. My question, Honorable Shaykh, is: Will I be a sinner if I return to my country temporarily for a week or less, or more, to visit my relatives and maintain my family ties?
Answer:
You are not a sinner in this; rather, you will be rewarded for it, if your intention is calling to Allah, maintaining your family ties, and being dutiful to your parents. You will be rewarded for this, if Allah wills. Yes.
