The answer

We advise you to continue your work if it does not involve any Shariah violations, because it helps you to get married. Be patient with the difficulties of living abroad, for this world is a place of hardship and trial. Remember the Hadith: "Three there are whom Allah is bound to help: the fighter in the cause of Allah, the slave who wants to buy his freedom and pays the money, and the one who marries seeking chastity." And you should recite the Prophetic supplication in times of worry and sorrow: "O Allah, I am Your slave, the son of Your male slave..." (the rest of the Hadith).
