Request:
Assalamu alaikum ya sayidee
I am a mother of three children who recently got separated from my husband. As a result, I moved from the US where I had lived for more than 20 years, to Egypt, my home country. My husband allowed my children to return with me to study Quran. My husband and children are US citizens while I’m a permanent resident. My predicament is that my husband wants me to file for US divorce papers, give up my permanent residence in the US and stay in Egypt. Friends, relatives and attorneys, advised that I should try to get a US citizenship, despite the hardship and expenses of relocation this might entail. I feel such grief and pain as a result of my situation that I’m unable to make a clear decision I am humbly seeking the advice and istikhara of my Sheikh.
Jazakum Allah kul Kahyr
