Is it permissible for him to go to another country with the intention of working if his mother and grandmother are sad about it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
My grandmother and my mother are in my country. I left them and went to work in a region other than my country, but they are sad about it. Am I sinful in this state, or is it permissible for me to do so? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
This depends on the need. If you are in need of work and there is no work in your country by which you can sustain yourself, then there is nothing wrong with going to another country, even if your mother and grandmother are sad about it. However, if there is work in your country from which you can secure your needs, then staying with your mother and grandmother is obligatory upon you for the sake of being dutiful to them and treating them with kindness. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
