Husband and wife work and live separately city

Question:

Assalamualaikum warohmatullohi wabarokatuh,
I work as a general insurance agent, where I get a commission from each sale of general insurance policies (home, car, place of business and travel).
Income (commission) that I got it, I leave entirely to the wife who until recently preferred to stay separate city, where I lived and worked as an insurance agent in jakarta while my wife lived and worked as a teacher in sukabumi.
I intend to succumb to move to sukabumi and start a business from scratch in sukabumi, but wives still do not allow and prefer to live like this now.
Honestly I really would like it if I could stay home one roof / house with my wife.
How in the opinion of Mevlana?
Wassalamualaikum warohmatullohi wabarokatuh

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam wa rhamtullahi wa barakutuh,

Mawlana Shaykh Hisham, in such situations, often reminds us that he himself used to live in Lebanon with his family but work in Saudi. This can often be stressful, but a man must go where his rizq is coming in order to provide the family.  If you find a good situation where your family is living then it makes sense to take that job and stay in the marital home. Insha-Allah Mawlana Shaykh Hisham is praying for you to find such a situation and blessed provision.

W ‘Allahu `alam,

Taher Siddiqui
