Her husband has given her the choice of either travelling with him to a kaafir country or staying in their homeland

 

A woman has been given the choice by her husband of either going with him when he goes to study in a kaafir country, and take a course there, or of staying in the Muslim country. He is going there for some worldly benefits and to earn a higher salary. Should she go with him or not?

We put this question to Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen, may Allaah preserve him, who answered as follows:

“Praise be to Allaah, Lord of the Worlds, and peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon our Prophet Muhammad and all his family and companions. I think that she
should go with him, because this will keep him safer from temptation. There will be no sin
on her so long as she adheres to her duties of covering and behaving modestly. But if he
goes alone there is the fear that he may fall into temptation, and if she stays alone
without a husband she will not be happy… And Allaah knows best.”
