Working abroad

A: If the situation is as you have mentioned, there is no wrong in asking for Sadaqah and the like, or searching for work in another country if the country is an Islamic country. This is seeking sustenance through lawful means, and protecting oneself from need and poverty and traveling to seek Halal (lawful) sustenance are among the objectives of the Shari‘ah (Islamic law). And Allah knows best. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
