The ruling on one who travels for a long period and leaves his parents
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
For each of us who has a father or mother still alive, if he is unable to see or visit them except after long periods, does the person sin by doing so?
This person says: He is absent from his parents on a journey for his necessary worldly or scholarly need, is this permissible if he has two parents?Answer: If the parents do not have a need for his presence among them, there is nothing wrong with his being absent from them for a long period. However, during this absence, he must maintain contact with them. Communications are now—praise be to Allah—facilitated; the telephone, mail, and telegraph are available.
