What is the ruling on marrying off a son without his mother's consent?

The questioner : A questioner says: I am a young man who wants to get married, and my mother has refused. Her excuse is that we are still living in a rented house, and that I am still in a state of needing to marry while I am in need of marriage. I want to have someone propose to me on my behalf because she has refused to arrange a proposal for me. I ask for advice for me and for her, and what should a person in my situation do? I am an employee, and I am able, if Allah wills, to gather a mahr or to take from here or there. May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : First, the advice directed to the mother: it is not permissible for her, the mother, to stand between her son and marriage. With a trivial excuse. She must not prevent it. It is obligatory for her to advise her son as she would advise herself, and to help him in obeying Allah and in what benefits him. There is no doubt that marriage is an obedience to Allah and is among the things that benefit him. It does not harm her if he marries; rather, it will only increase her good, because he may marry a righteous woman who serves him and serves his mother, as often happens, praise be to Allah. As for him, I say: there is no blame on you if you get married even if your mother dislikes it, because this is a benefit for you and a removal of harm from you, and it does not harm the mother in any way. So, look now for a righteous woman and then marry. In my opinion, if the mother sees the fact of the matter, she will submit to it.
