If your wife accepts your being away for this length of time, then there is nothing wrong with it. May Allaah bless us and you with all strength and goodness.
Being absent from one’s wife for more than six months
Question: 2407
I'm getting married back home , but
unfortunately I will not be able to bring her to this country because I,m student. I know
a Hadith where Omar ibn Alkhatab (RAA)- if I,m right - said that husband and wife must not
be way from each other for more than six months. Unfortunately , I will only be able to
comeback after a year minumum. Am I allowed to do that using the islaamic principal
"necessity dictates exception".
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah.
