Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I am a resident in this country, and I want to travel a final journey, but my father is preventing me from this travel. His question is: Do I have the right to travel without his approval?

Answer:
No, his approval is necessary, because his approval is obligatory upon you. So you do not go except after you have sought his permission and he has allowed you to do so, unless you have an excuse, in which case explain it to the parent: "I am compelled to travel for such and such a reason." Yes, the important thing is to reach an understanding with the parent and convince him. There is no doubt that this is what is obligatory upon you. Yes.
