Obedience to the father in his preventing one from attending scholarly lessons
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If my father prevents me from attending scholarly lessons, is it obligatory for me to obey his order, or what should I do?
Answer:
If he needs you for his service, then you prioritize obeying him. But if he does not need you, and it is merely that he dislikes the scholarly lessons, or some of them say, "I fear you will become, meaning, strict," or "I fear you will be with these strict people," then do not obey him in this, because it deprives you of seeking knowledge. However, it is better to understand with him, first try to convince him, and remove the fear and aversion in his heart; that is better. Yes.
