What is the optimal way to reconcile paying off a financial debt that necessitates separation from one's wife and family and returning to one's home country with an inability to pay the debt, taking into account the wife's offer to sell the house to pay off the debt?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The believer is afflicted, and affliction may be an expiation for sins. The questioner is advised to continue his work to repay the debt, and not to sell his house due to the difficulty of obtaining a similar one. He is also advised to convince his mother and wife to be patient, and to try to bring his wife to reside with him. Past sins must be concealed, and it is sufficient to inform the wife about the debt without detailing the sins.
