Absence from the wife for more than a year for work

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on being absent from one’s wife for more than a year for the sake of work and earning a living?

Answer:
If the wife is content with this, there is nothing wrong with it. If she requests it, he should come to her every six months. Yes.
