Reconciling Dutifulness to Parents with the Pursuit of Knowledge

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My father frequently rebukes me when I attend lessons. He says: My father frequently rebukes me when I attend lessons and lectures, and tells me that serving him and being dutiful to him is obligatory, and to leave this matter alone, knowing that some of my brothers are in a position to take my place. His question is: How do I reconcile, may Allah grant you success, between being dutiful to my parents and seeking knowledge?

Answer:
Prioritize being dutiful to your father if your father needs you, then prioritize being dutiful to him. And if you say that you have brothers who can do it, and he knows that you are the best for him, then this is a gain for you. This is a gain for you that you serve your father and are dutiful to him. But if you ask his permission and request his forgiveness, and you say that you have brothers, and he gives you permission, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
