Seeking Permission for Jihad from the Authority and the Parents

Question:
He says: I am a young man who asked my parents for permission to go to jihad, and they gave it to him. He says: What do you advise me to do, Your Eminence the Shaykh?

Answer:
Follow the authority in charge of jihad; it does not happen except with the permission of the authority. As for you leaving the obedience of the authority and going to jihad without his permission, this is not permissible, even if your father, the parents, gave you permission. The parents may be ignorant; they do not know what they are doing. So the permission of the authority is necessary. Then, if the authority gives permission, the permission of the parents is necessary. That is the order: first, the permission of the authority of the Muslims. Second, if the authority gives permission, then you consult your parents and ask their permission. Yes. We pause for the advertisement.
