Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I have been working here in the Kingdom for many years, and my children are with me, but I have not been able to visit my father in my country for six years, because if I travel, I will not be able to bring my children back again due to their violation of the regulations. His question is: Is there a sin upon me for not visiting my father during that period?
Answer:
If you are excused, then there is no sin upon you. However, convince your parents; call them and mention the excuse to them and apologize to them. May Allah soften their hearts. Send them money and whatever is easy for you. That is, you are excused; convince them and say, "I am excused and I do not intend to [neglect them]." Also, remove what is in their hearts against you, namely that they think you are abandoning them and that you do not wish to visit them. Explain this to them along with maintaining contact through money. Yes.
