The father’s prevention of his son from attending scholarly lessons and deceiving him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I am a young man studying in college, and my father prevents me from attending scholarly lessons. Is it permissible for me to deceive him and say that I am going to my regular lecture, while I actually go to the scholarly lesson? Or would this be considered undutifulness to parents? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
As mentioned before, you must try to reason with your father and convince him that this lesson is beneficial and contains good. He does not know what this lesson is. You have not explained it to him or clarified what the lesson is and what its benefit is. I do not think that if he knew this lesson was beneficial and contained good, he would prevent you from it. But he does not know, and you have not explained it to him. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
