The ruling on jihad in the path of Allah in the presence of one's parents
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Is obedience to one's parents in jihad in the path of Allah obligatory, and if they do not give permission, what should I do?
Answer:
As for the jihad that is a collective obligation, the parents' approval is required. This is because going to it is a recommended practice, and obedience to the parents is obligatory, so one does not prioritize a recommended practice over an obligation. A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wanting to go out with the mujahideen, so he said to him (peace and blessings be upon him): Are your parents alive? He said: Yes. He said: Then strive in their service.
