Light on the Path-354a
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding workers who left their homelands and emigrated to earn a living for their families, is there a sin upon them for leaving their wives for a few years, such as one, two, three, or five years? And what is the duration for which a Muslim is held accountable for his absence from his wife?
The Shaykh : This returns to the wife, because the right belongs to her. So if she is satisfied with this.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : The right belongs to her, on the condition that she is safe if her husband is absent from her. If she is not safe, then it is not permissible.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. This questioner, Lafi Nasser al-Balawi from Tabuk, says.
