She wants to travel for five months away from her husband

Question: 5322

Is it permissible for a woman to travel
away from her husband for five months or more?

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

If the couple both agree to that then there is nothing wrong with it, unless staying apart will lead one of the couple to do something wrong such as doing something haraam or neglecting the children. In this case it is not permissible, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm.” And Allaah knows best.
