Is it permissible for a woman to leave a Muslim country and return to a non-Muslim country if she is suffering from loneliness there and her separation from her husband and adult children, especially if her husband does not prefer her return to the non-Muslim country?

Residing in disbelieving lands is impermissible except under specific conditions, the most important of which are: that the resident be a person of faith, knowledge, and insight, and that they be able to openly practice their rituals, and be safe, along with their family. The relocation of children to these countries carries significant risks to their faith and morals, especially for adolescents. A wife should not interpret her husband's reluctance to move as a sign of weak affection; rather, it stems from his concern for the religious upbringing of his children, and Satan is eager to sow doubts.

The choice between remaining in a country where one feels alienated and lonely, yet secure about the children's upbringing, and moving to a country where educational risks are abundant, requires careful consideration and consultation, focusing on benefits and harms. It is preferable for the wife to join her husband if her daughter can study in an Islamic school or through a distance learning system, or if her need for her husband is pressing.

Studying in a mixed-gender school should not be among the options, as it is forbidden, and formal education is not obligatory for a girl; rather, she is only required to learn what she needs for her religion. The general inclination is for the family to be reunited in one place, as the harms of their separation outweigh any benefits.
