Seek Allah‘s bounty throughout the land
The Quran encourages us to travel in the land for seeking Allah’s sustenance. As the example of Yaqub (AS) and his family shows, there is also nothing objectionable about migrating to another land due to financial considerations as long as one is able to observe the teachings of Allah without restrictions in the foreign country. When Canaan was hit by famine, while Egypt remained economically stable due to the foresight granted by Allah to Yusuf (AS), he instructed his brothers: 'And bring me your family, all together.' (12:93) Hence, they all migrated from their native Canaan and settled in Egypt.
