Question:
We conclude this blessed episode with a question from our Sudanese brother residing in Riyadh. He says: I am absent from my wife for work for one to two years to seek a livelihood for them. What is required of me during this travel regarding my children and regarding speaking with them on the phone?
Answer:
Try to be present during the year for your children and your wife, so you can get to know their conditions and check on them, as much as you are able. If you cannot do this, and your wife permits it, there is nothing wrong with you being absent for a year or more. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge, and may He benefit Islam and the Muslims through you.
