What is the ruling on traveling to seek knowledge when the father and the one in authority are not pleased? Is it permissible? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
It is necessary to have the father's approval and to convince him. If the father needs you to be with him, it is not permissible for you to travel; rather, you must remain to serve him and attend to his affairs. However, if the father does not need you and you will not cause him harm by traveling, you must convince him, ask for his forgiveness, and seek his permission, for this is part of respecting him, convincing him, and pleasing him. But if you see that he is affected or that he will become angry with you, do not travel until you have convinced him. Yes.
