Obedience to the Mahram Brother in Preventing Travel

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : It is a follow-up question. Suppose the matter is permissible, and her brother said to her, "No." Does her brother, meaning the mahram brother, have the right to be obeyed in the same way as the husband, or not? She does not have to obey him.

The Shaykh : She has a husband.

The questioner : No, she is a daughter, but her brother is Muslim. Originally they were disbelievers, but they converted to Islam. So if a specific matter is permissible, and he requested that she not do it, does she have to obey her brother?

The Shaykh : First, it is obligatory to obey every Muslim if the obedience is obligatory, so it is even more obligatory to obey her Muslim brother.

The questioner : I mean, if it is within a permissible matter and their views differ, does she have to obey her brother?

The Shaykh : No, if their views differ, meaning, as I intend, in terms of opinion and ijtihad (independent legal reasoning). I don't know, is she educated? Is she learned in Islamic jurisprudence?

The questioner : I mean, not much, just that she is a Sunni Muslim.

The Shaykh : So how do their views differ?

The questioner : I mean, they are two people at the same level, they are two, so to speak, if they are Sunni Muslims.

The Shaykh : In any case, here.

The questioner : Because you told me that her travel with you is permitted, and her brother said no. Does she obey her brother or not? That is her question.

The Shaykh : This is in disobedience.

The questioner : There is no, there is no, if she obeyed her brother.

The Shaykh : There is disobedience if she obeyed her brother. What did her brother say to her?

The questioner : Her brother said to her, "Even if, I mean, excuse me, Shaykh Al-Albani agreed that you can travel, my opinion is that you should not travel."

The Shaykh : Yes. Well, why does he say that?

The questioner : Because he says to him, regarding the hadith of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), he says to him, it is clear, it does not require ijtihad.

The Shaykh : Well, if he agreed, what level, he agreed, so he embraced him, his position agreed with Al-Albani and the problem is over.

The questioner : And the problem is over, and I, I have the problem now. Good, if Allah wills. May Allah reward you with good, Honorable Shaykh.

The Shaykh : And you.

The questioner : Thank you very much, peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. And this, O Shaykh, if he was a disbeliever and converted to Islam, look, O our Shaykh, the Muslims in this time, Allah is the Greatest. Yes.

The questioner : Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.

The questioner : How are you, Shaykh?

The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, well, may Allah preserve you.

The questioner : May Allah bless you, I want to ask you two questions, if Allah wills.

The Shaykh : Just one question.
