The Question: People living outside the country get vacations after one year and some after two. Some never go back soon in the greed of money. How long can a married person live in foreign far away from his wife? What is better in this modern age? Please explain the duration of husband and wife being apart.
The Answer: Jalaluddin Suyyuti has narrated in Tareekhul Khulafay with the referance of Hazrat Umar Raziallah Anhu that once he was visiting outside. Suddenly, he heard a voice of a woman from a home. She was reading some poetry the meaning of which was as below:
Her husband has gone far away hence she is sad because of his separation. Hazrat Umar came to his home and asked the wife. How long can a married woman patience without the husband? She replied, 3 to 4 months.
He issued a rule that every militant must be given vacation after four months so that he may pay the wife's rights.
The scholars say if the husband doesn't pay his wife's right for four months she owns the right of getting Khula (divorce).
This is in the case when the wife doesn't agree. So the husband should keep her agree and must go home once in a year if possible. It's good to keep her with himself if there is no issue.
They can live without each other if both agreed. But with the potential of mischief, the agreement doesn't help either. Coming home not for a long time causes numerous losses.
Husband wife love needs a deep relationship between them. The husband should meet all the requirement of her wife whether they relate to her worldly life or hereafter life.
