Returning to one's homeland is not an act of arrogance towards sustenance; rather, it is a remedy for the psychological pains of estrangement. It is advisable to perform Istikhara regarding this. A stranger who dies in a foreign land is promised great reward, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Indeed, when a man dies in a place other than his birthplace, his measure from his birthplace to the end of his trace in Paradise will be measured for him." So, if a resident finds support from his family, the stranger is blessed with reward and assistance from Allah.
