The Ruling on Jihad in the Path of Allah When the Disbelieving Parents Prohibit It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is the permission of the parents required for jihad in the path of Allah if they are disbelievers?
Answer:
If they need him, meaning they prohibit him because of their need for him and he would be left without support, then he must obey them. However, if they prohibit him out of dislike for jihad, he does not obey them. There is no obedience to a created being in disobedience to the Creator. The outcome is that if they prohibit him because of their need for him and his remaining with them, he must refrain, even if they are disbelievers, because Allah commanded dutifulness to parents even if they are disbelievers. But if they prohibit him from jihad out of dislike for jihad, and they do not need him, he does not obey them in that.
