Question

Im the only son and im earning in Saudi arabia, and my parents are in India. What will be my duty? Leave the job and go back to my parents and help them in their work or continue earning and send money?

Answer

You should make Mashwarah with your parents. If they are incapacitated and in need of your services, then you should serve them and if they are not in need of your services then you should continue working and support them.
