Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I am a scholarship student studying at one of the universities, and I am married, and my wife is in the country. He says: She always complains to me that she needs me and that I must return. Is it obligatory for me to travel to her, or should I remain to seek knowledge?
Answer:
You travel to her every four months, every four months you travel to her, because a woman cannot endure being away from her husband for more than four months[Al-Baqarah 2:226] she cannot endure more than four months away from her husband. You travel to her. Yes.
