The answer

The need and financial hardship may necessitate expatriation, which is a relative matter varying from person to person. However, if basic needs are met, returning to the homeland and residing with family is better due to the great benefits it entails, such as chastity and childcare. Scholars have urged against expatriation for those who do not need it, for travel is a piece of torment, and whoever has fulfilled his need must hasten back to his family. Furthermore, a husband's frequent return to his wife provides psychological happiness and moral protection that material wealth cannot provide.
