I wanted to perform Hajj al-Islam, but my father and mother refused. Should I obey them or disobey them?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If my parents are Muslims, and I want to perform Hajj for the first time, but they refuse, should I obey them or disobey them, knowing that my going will not cause them any harm?

Answer:
If there is no harm to them, and they do not need you to stay with them, and you have not yet performed Hajj al-Islam, then it is obligatory for you to perform Hajj. If he were to tell you, "Do not pray," you would not obey him; likewise, Hajj is an obligation and a pillar of Islam. However, you must try to convince them; do not just leave them. Convince them and explain to them that they will have a reward if they allow you to go, meaning if they support you. There should be understanding and persuasion. You say, "I have no responsibility toward them," and you go. Perhaps they will be angry with you because you did not handle the communication with them well. Yes.
