Is a husband sinful for traveling abroad leaving his wife being prevented from traveling by her parents?
Q 1: I work in the military service in
Al-Dammam,
and all my in-laws live in
Al-Qunfudhah.
I have been married for four years now and I have a daughter.
I really wish my wife and daughter can live with me where I work, but my in-laws are against this.
I cannot displease them or I will not be able to go to my wife. Do I bear a sin or is it the sin of her family, since I am willing to do whatever is necessary for her to come and live with me where I work? I hope you can answer me as soon as possible. May Allah safeguard you.
A:
If the reality is as you mentioned, that she cannot come to you for a reason that is out of your hand and that you do your best to travel to her where she lives whenever it is possible, there is no sin on you. We ask Allah (Exalted be He) to grant you success and make things easy for you. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
