Question:
A questioner says: A man is absent from his family for more than six months for the sake of work. What is the ruling of the Shari'ah regarding a man's absence from his family with their consent?
Answer:
He is excused in this; his absence for seeking the sustenance he needs is an excuse for him, and he is not held accountable for it. However, if he is able to travel to his family from time to time, he should travel to them. But if he is unable to travel and he needs this work, there is no blame on him for that. Yes.
