Ruling on leaving one's wife for a long period due to travel
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am a man from outside this country, and I have a wife in my home country. I have been away from her for a long time, and I have a wife here. I am afraid that if I go to my home country, I will be in danger of punishment there, because I am outside their defective creed.
Answer:
You must fear Allah in this matter, my brother, and do what is possible. Either write to her to come so that she may come to you if that is facilitated, or if it is not facilitated, ask her for her permission. Say: "O so-and-so, I am unable to come, so I hope for your forgiveness," until Allah makes a way out and a solution. This will not harm you. If she forgives you and says, "There is nothing wrong with it," then there is no blame on him, if Allah wills.
However, you must also strive hard to bring her to you and unite her with you, and take her out of that country where there is danger, because she may be shy and say, "There is nothing wrong," when she does not actually want that.
Question: And if she does not give permission?
Answer: If she does not give permission and he is unable to do so, this is a matter for consideration. He should divorce her. They should return to the ruling of the judge: there, the matter is looked into. But in most cases, if a woman sees care from her husband, she will not oppose him.
