Question:
May Allah reward you. This question asks which is better for me. I am residing with my large family here in this land of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) for many years, and my parents are insisting that I return to them in my country, which contains a great deal of shirk (associating partners with Allah). So, what is better for me: traveling to them or staying here?
Answer:
There is no objection to traveling to visit them only. As for residing, no, do not reside with them. But traveling to visit them and maintaining contact with them is fine; there is no harm in returning. Yes.
