Question:
Is there fighting and jihad against the disbelievers without the permission of one's parents?

Answer:
As for fighting to defend the lands of the Muslims if they are besieged or attacked, this is an individual obligation (fard 'ayn), and one does not seek the permission of the parents. He defends his land, he defends his home, he defends his honor, and he does not seek the permission of the parents, because this is necessary jihad, an individual obligation (fard 'ayn).
