Is it permissible to disobey one's father if he prevents him from attending gatherings of knowledge?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a father prevents his son from attending scholarly lessons and the company of the righteous out of concern for him, is the son obligated to obey him?
Answer:
He should try to convince his father and explain to him the company he keeps and the circles he attends. He should explain to his father that he fears his father is worried about him, and you know the trials and tribulations today, and you know those who snatch up the youth and indoctrinate them with bad ideas, and much of this has happened.
So the father is not to be blamed for protecting his son, ensuring his company, and ensuring his pursuit of knowledge. I am afraid he seeks knowledge in rest houses, on trips, and in seclusion, and a disaster occurs. A believer is not stung twice from the same hole. We must be careful about our children, ensure who accompanies them, and ensure the lessons they receive. From whom? Yes.
