Is dutifulness to parents prioritized over the jihad of seeking and the jihad of defense?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is dutifulness to parents prioritized over jihad in the path of Allah? Is it prioritized over the jihad of defense or over the jihad of seeking?

Answer:
The jihad of seeking and the jihad of defense: no one is excused from them, no one is excused from them. Because if one leaves off the defense, the disbeliever will occupy the land of the Muslims and make their blood and honor lawful. So it is obligatory for everyone who is able to fight in jihad to fight, but on the condition that he is under a banner. Under the banner of the one in authority, he must be under the banner of the one in authority. This is an individual obligation. As for the jihad of seeking, this is a collective obligation, a collective obligation. Yes.
