Should one go abroad to work or serve his aged parents?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: My parents are aged. MashaAllah both are alive. My father is in 80’s and my mother is in 70’s. I’m the youngest child and my age is 25 years. I’m a resident of Pakistan and I’ve got admission in Ireland.

If I talk about the opportunity, it has a bright scope in future to move to Ireland. If I talk about my parents relationship then I’m in a doubt whether I’m missing the opportunity to live with my parents in their old age.

I seek your guidance whether to go to Ireland or continue to live with my parents in the light of the Holy Quran and the teachings of Nabi Muhammad (sallalaho alaihi wasallam) so that my heart could feel relief and I could further take a decision.

Bismillaah

A: You rather live with your parents. Can there be a greater opportunity of taking good care of your parents.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
