His father wants him to travel for work and his wife insists on him staying
Question

                I am very confused. I got married 9 months ago; I stayed 4 months with my wife then traveled abroad. My wife has objected to this. She tried to stop me but this did not work. Alhamdulillah, we love and understand each other. I tried to persuade her that after traveling I will look for a flat and send her a visa to come and live with me abroad. But I did not find a suitable flat. It is too expensive to rent a flat here; even all my salary is not enough for half a month. When she knew this she started sending messages to me telling me how much she suffers, her tears do not dry up, and her heart is burning of missing me. 

On the other hand, my father encourages me to stay abroad and work in order to help in my brother’s marriage. While my wife says she cannot live alone and asks me daily to come home, my father wants me to stay abroad. 

 Shall I return to my wife and not be unfair with her, or stay here and help my father in my brother’s marriage?.
Praise be to Allah.The husband may travel and 
    be away from his wife for the sake of work or others interests that are 
    Islamically acceptable, for a period no longer than six months. If it is 
    longer than that, then he must ask his wife for permission. 
The basic principle 
    concerning that is that ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab asked his daughter Hafsah (may 
    Allah be pleased with her): O my daughter, how long can a woman bear to be 
    away from her husband? She said: Subhan Allah, would one such as you ask 
    one such as me about that? He said: Were it not that I want to make a 
    decision concerning the Muslims I would not have asked you. She said: Five 
    months or six months. So he set a time limit for the people on their 
    campaigns of six months: they would march for a month, then stay there for 
    four months, then take another month for the journey back.  
Al-Imam Ahmad (may Allah have 
    mercy on him) was asked: How long may a husband be away from his wife? He 
    said: It was narrated: Six months. 
See: al-Mughni 
    (7/232, 416). 
Ash-Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may 
    Allah have mercy on him) said: With regard to a man travelling and being 
    away from his wife, if she is in a safe place there is nothing wrong with 
    it, and if she lets him stay away for more than six months, there is nothing 
    wrong with it. But if she asks for her rights and asks him to come back to 
    her, then he should not stay away for more than six months. But if there is 
    a reason such as a sick person who is being treated and so on, then cases of 
    necessity come under their own rulings. Whatever the case, it is the wife’s 
    right, and if she allows that and is in a safe place, there is no sin on 
    him, even if the husband is away a great deal. End quote from Fatawa 
    al-‘Ulama fi ‘Ushrat al-Nisa (p. 106). 
Based on that, it is your 
    wife’s right that you should return to them, especially since your salary is 
    not enough for accommodation, as you say. This means that you are staying 
    away from your family when they need you. 
It is no secret that 
    fulfilling rights and protecting one’s family and looking after them, and 
    maintaining love and stability, takes precedence over accumulating money. 
You are not obliged to obey 
    your father even if he tells you to stay abroad, because that may result in 
    loss of your wife’s rights. It is well known that there is no obedience to 
    any created being if it involves disobedience towards the Creator, but you 
    should speak kindly and convince him, and explain that there is nothing to 
    be gained from being away from your family. 
We ask Allah to help and 
    guide you. 
And Allah knows best.
