Permission of the Parents in Jihad
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it obligatory to seek the permission of the parents regarding jihad in Afghanistan, given that the parents do not need the son financially? And if they do not give permission, is it obligatory to obey them in that matter?
Answer:
It is obligatory to seek their permission, or else to be dutiful to them. As the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said when a man asked him for permission to go out to jihad: "Are your parents alive?" He said, "Yes." He said, "Then be dutiful to them and go out to jihad." He returned and sought their permission. If they give you permission, go; otherwise, be dutiful to them. This is how it came in the authentic hadith.
