If you are in debt and cannot find the means to repay it, and you live with your parents, there is no sin upon you in traveling to seek livelihood and pay off your debt, especially since they have given you permission to do so. The sadness of separation that you see in your parents’ eyes is natural, and in this case, the separation is not considered disobedience. We advise you to strive to earn, restore the rights of others, avoid usury, and then return to live with your parents.
