Seeking Knowledge While the Mother Needs Dutifulness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is it permissible for me to seek knowledge when my mother has no one else, or no older son than me to be dutiful to her, and my father has passed away, and my country is a long distance from the place of seeking knowledge? Is this permissible for me?
Answer:
If your mother needs you and your staying with her, her right obligates you to stay with her, unless she gives you permission, you convince her, and she allows it, in which case there is nothing wrong. As for you leaving her and going, saying that seeking knowledge is her right and is obligatory upon you, yes.
