Residing in non-Muslim lands is neither absolutely forbidden nor absolutely permissible; rather, it entails a detailed explanation. If there is nothing in Islamic law that prevents the wife from residing with her husband in non-Muslim lands, then she must obey her husband and travel to him. By doing so, she protects and safeguards her chastity. Both spouses are advised to be keen on what helps them preserve their religion by attending knowledge-based gatherings in Islamic centers and elsewhere.
