If a man wants to join the ranks of the committees for enjoining good and forbidding evil, do his parents have the right to prevent him?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: If a son wants to join the ranks of the committees for enjoining good and forbidding evil, and his father refuses, out of concern for him, is it obligatory for him to obey his father in this case, or not?

Answer:
Yes, if it is not an individual obligation for him. If there are others who are fulfilling this collective obligation, then it is not an individual obligation for him, and he must have his father's consent. However, if no one is fulfilling it and he has the capability to do so, then it becomes an individual obligation, and they do not have the right to prevent him. Yes.
