Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am a young man who wants to get married, but my mother opposes it. My father, however, tells me to go and find a good wife and that he will marry me off. I am a mu'adhdhin and receive a salary for it. So, should I get married without my mother's approval?
Answer:
Yes, your mother has no right to prevent you from marrying. Neither your parents nor either one of them has the right to prevent you from marrying, because this is causing you harm, and it is a sin. There is no obedience to a created being in disobedience to the Creator. Abandoning marriage when one is able to do so is a sin. There is no obedience to a created being in disobedience to the Creator. Marry and rely upon Allah. Your mother, if Allah wills, will be pleased later. If she does not, then she is the one who is in the wrong. Yes.
