Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This woman says her message is long and her question is long. She says she is a person residing in Saudi Arabia and is from a European country. She says she emigrated to Saudi Arabia four years ago, and her mother is still living in a village in another Muslim country. Her health is not bad, but she has depression. She says she wants me to live with her, and I want her to live with me. I have thought about it; if I go to her, I will be harmed in my religion, and I am afraid I will return to disbelief. She asks what she should do about that?

Answer:
As long as the country where she is is Muslim and its inhabitants are Muslims, and she needs you and cannot come to you here, it is obligatory for you to be dutiful to her, go to her, serve her, and be dutiful to her. There is no harm on you, if Allah wills, as long as the country is Muslim and your mother is Muslim, and praise be to Allah.
