Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah bless you. The daughter considers the thing to be obligatory.
The Shaykh : She considers it obligatory?
The questioner : I mean, she considers, for example, that something is obligatory, and the father is committed to religion but does not consider it obligatory. The daughter, of course, considers it obligatory based on knowledge, having striven in the pursuit of knowledge. Or, the son is not the condition here; the point is that the father is not acting out of knowledge but is religious, meaning he has commitment. The daughter considers the thing obligatory based on knowledge and jurisprudence, and the father is committed but does not consider this thing obligatory. So, what is the course of action? Whose opinion prevails?
