Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence, we tell you that we love you for the sake of Allah, and you have discussed dutifulness to parents. If the parents do not permit visiting a disobedient brother.
The Shaykh : Visiting?
The questioner : Visiting a disobedient brother.
The Shaykh : Their people?
The questioner : No, visiting a disobedient brother, a brother of ours who is disobedient. What is the ruling on disobeying them in that?
The Shaykh : This question that our brother asked is common. There is often a misunderstanding between a mother and her sister or relative, or between a father and his brother or relative. He says to his children: "Do not visit so-and-so," or the woman says: "Do not visit your aunt, for example." There is no doubt that this is an order to sever family ties, so it is an order to do what is wrong, not what is right. It is an order to do what is wrong. Therefore, the parents are not to be obeyed in this. However, you should conceal it from them; you go to those whom they forbade you from visiting and visit them secretly, without the parents knowing, so that you combine achieving the benefit and averting the harm.
Yes.
