Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. After this, there is a message from one of the listeners. He says: Your brother in Allah, Ibrahim Abu Muhammad, from the Syrian Arab Republic, residing in the Kingdom. He says: I have been absent from my wife for two years here, knowing that my wife is content and that the circumstances of my work compelled me to do so. Am I a sinner given the situation I have described? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
You are not a sinner. If these two conditions are met, namely the need for this absence to seek a livelihood, and her contentment and her forgiving you for this absence, then there is no blame on you, if Allah wills. And whatever allows you to return to your wife is better and more complete. Yes.
