Considering the Parents' Satisfaction in the Son's Travel
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Regarding travel, I mean, to what extent should the circumstances of the parents be considered in their consent, or the degrees of consent if it is dislike or they do not recommend their son traveling?
The Shaykh:
What is the matter with them?
The questioner:
If the parents' degree of consent to travel is dislike, or dissatisfaction, or they do not recommend it, is this issue considered?
The Shaykh:
If the parents need you to serve them and for you to stay with them, this is obligatory upon you, and it is not permissible for you to travel, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent back the one who wanted to go out in jihad in the cause of Allah, sending him back to his parents to serve them If they need you, and if you go, their service is disrupted and they are harmed by your absence, then it is not permissible for you to travel; because obedience to the parents comes after obedience to Allah, and their right comes after the right of Allah the Exalted. However, if they do not need you, but they are anxious about you regarding travel and fear for you, then you should convince them and explain to them the travel and your need for it, and that there are no fears or harms in it. If they are convinced, then you travel. Yes.
