Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... Libyan youth from ... .
The Shaykh : Raise your voice.
The questioner: Libyan youth are sending you their greetings.
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner: Libyan youth are sending you their greetings.
The Shaykh: Libyan youth, peace be upon you and upon them.
The questioner: The Shaykh, Abu 'Abdullah, Abu 'Abdullah, a Libyan brother, is sending you his greetings.
The Shaykh: Welcome, peace be upon you and - upon him - .
The questioner: Shaykh, I have a question for you ... my son is leaving Libya. Of course, you know the conditions of the Libyans. He is leaving Libya, but something made us leave; the conditions were such that we left. However, when we left, the father and mother did not know about it. The father and mother had no knowledge of it.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: So what is the status of the father and mother with me? Will I be sinful because of them? Sinful because of whom?
The Shaykh: By Allah, this depends on your situation there.
The questioner: There, you know ...
The Shaykh: I do not know, because the general situation is known, but the specific situation, meaning for each individual among the Muslims, is not something I know. Therefore, the ruling in such a case returns to the person himself, considering his saying - peace be upon him - : . For example, as an individual among the Muslim youth there, are you, in terms of your father and mother, obedient to them and dutiful to them as Allah - Mighty and Majestic - commanded in the Noble Qur'an? We say, from the perspective of good assumption, the answer is yes, is that right?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: This is regarding your relationship with your parents. Your relationship with the society that is being oppressed by the ruler.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: The one who rules by other than what Allah has revealed. Are you unable to pray in public? Are you unable to obey your Lord in everything that Allah has commanded you?
The questioner: Yes ...
The Shaykh: Listen, my brother, may Allah guide you. I am giving you the answer, meaning, as they say, there is nothing left but to put the dots on the letters.
The questioner: May Allah reward you with good and bless you.
The Shaykh: And you take the answer as sufficient and complete. Are you unable to perform many individual obligations, such as prayer, as you heard just now, maintaining it in its times and in the congregation of the Muslims, and the like?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: Like letting the beard grow. You are unable to let it grow because you are either forced into punishment or into shaving it against your will, up to what is similar to these examples.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: Is that right? If the answer is that you are unable, then you are not sinful in leaving without your parents' permission. But if it is the other case, then you are sinful.
The questioner: May Allah reward you with good, Shaykh. I am unable, just as I said.
The Shaykh: My brother, I am not asking you if you are able or not able.
The questioner: May Allah bless you, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
The Shaykh : Raise your voice.
The questioner: Libyan youth are sending you their greetings.
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner: Libyan youth are sending you their greetings.
The Shaykh: Libyan youth, peace be upon you and upon them.
The questioner: The Shaykh, Abu 'Abdullah, Abu 'Abdullah, a Libyan brother, is sending you his greetings.

Consult your heart; and if the muftis have given you a ruling
استفت قلبك ؛ وإن أفتاك المفتونThe questioner: Yes.
