Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a questioner from France who has a long question, the summary of which is: I have been residing in France for years, and I have committed many violations. I have two daughters in that country, and their mother is a disbeliever. I and the mother are responsible for their care, each for a period of days. He says: Their mother teaches them Christianity and makes them do some wrongs. He asks: Is it permissible for me to emigrate, or is it obligatory for me to stay until my daughter reaches eighteen years of age?
Answer:
No, emigrate and take your daughters and their belongings with you, and raise them in the lands of the Muslims. If the Christian [mother] accepts, she comes with you, she comes with you, yes.
