Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner sent you a question saying: If the parents are disbelievers, does that preclude him from going out for jihad?
Answer:
Yes, it is necessary to seek the permission of the parents, whoever they are, due to the generality of the hadith, and because dutifulness to the parents, even if they are disbelievers, is obligatory upon the Muslim. Allah the Exalted said:[Luqman 31:15] [Luqman 31:15] Treat them with kindness in this world, be good to them, be dutiful to them, and serve them, even if they are disbelievers. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you

But if they endeavor to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them but accompany them in [this] world with appropriate kindness
وَإِن جَاهَدَاكَ عَلَىٰ أَن تُشْرِكَ بِي مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَا وَصَاحِبْهُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوفًاfollow the way of those who turn back to Me
