The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. These are questions, one of which says: If the one in authority mobilizes his subjects to fight alongside him in jihad, is the permission of the parents required in this case?
The Shaykh:
"If you are mobilized, then go forth," says the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). "If you are mobilized, then go forth." However, he must seek permission from the one in authority and inform him of his parents' situation and that they need him. The one in authority does not force him to leave his father.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. And this questioner says:
The Shaykh:
There is no doubt that among those mobilized, some have excuses. They must present their excuses and state them truthfully. Yes.
