Question:
He says: My father prevents me from going on 'Umrah, attending the circles of knowledge, and going with the righteous. So, should I obey him? He says his father prevents him from going on 'Umrah, from the circles of knowledge, and from going with the righteous.
Answer:
If he fears for him because of his going, if he fears for him, then he has the right to prevent him. But if he is of advanced age and he does not fear for him, he should not prevent him from Hajj and 'Umrah, or from attending the recitation of the Qur'an and the gatherings of dhikr. He should not prevent him; this benefits the father and benefits the son. Yes.
