Which is better: to leave the current job and return to the home country to live with one's wife, or to continue working abroad despite being unable to bring one's wife due to a low salary?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Whoever fears temptation and falling into the forbidden must immediately hasten to marry if he possesses the means, even if it requires him to return to his country and leave his job, for chastity is an obligation. As for one who can patiently endure without falling into the forbidden, he may continue working for a period to gather money, with the advice to hasten to marry due to the prevalence of temptations, and an emphasis on the importance of seeking Allah's guidance () in all matters.
