Disobeying a Parent’s Order Regarding a Second Marriage

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to disobey my father’s order regarding marrying a second wife, since he strongly opposes it? Is it obligatory for me to obey him?

Answer:
There is no doubt that understanding and persuasion are required among people, especially with parents. Try to persuade him and please him. If he refuses and you are in need of marriage, nothing prevents you from doing so; it is permissible for you, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
