Is a man's travel abroad for work to earn more money, despite the accompanying hardship, more rewarded than his work within his own country if he earns enough there to support himself and his family?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Whoever travels to increase his income to spend in good deeds, uphold ties of kinship, and enrich his family, we hope that his reward will be greater than one who sufficed with the available income in his country, and there are benefits to this travel. However, the anticipated benefit must be compared with the interests of religion and family. If a man travels and, as a result, his chastity or the chastity of his family weakens, or his children become corrupt, then this worldly and religious loss must be avoided.
