The question

Is leaving a higher-paying job in China and returning to a lower-paying job in Saudi Arabia considered "kicking a blessing," especially when the aim is to maintain commitment to prayer and the remembrance of Allah, given the pressures and lack of support for such commitment in the Chinese environment?

The answer

There is no good in work that distracts from the remembrance of Allah, for this world is not worth the two rak'ahs of Fajr. As the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The two rak'ahs of Fajr are better than the world and what it contains." One must choose places that increase faith and improve character. For this reason, we were commanded to abandon gatherings of amusement and idle talk, to distance ourselves from bad companions, and to migrate from lands of disbelief to lands of Islam. It is advisable to leave a place that weakens faith, even if it requires sacrificing some money, for whoever abandons something for the sake of Allah, Allah will compensate him with something better.
