Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Hello.
The Shaykh : Yes!
The questioner : Please, go ahead and speak with me.
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : Hello, please go ahead and speak.
Another questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
The questioner : How are you?
The Shaykh : Welcome.
The questioner : Hello.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : How are you, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Welcome.
The questioner : How is your health?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner : We are from Libya, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : We are from Libya!
The Shaykh : From Libya?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Welcome.
The questioner : We left as emigrants.
The Shaykh : Yes, may Allah accept your emigration.
The questioner : Amen, I have a question!
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : Of course, after the opening, due to the emigration, when a person wants to leave, his family, meaning his mother, cries and does not eat, and says that she is not pleased with him. So, is it obligatory for him to seek his parents' permission, or does he leave if the ruling is obligatory?
The Shaykh : This varies, may Allah reward you, depending on the motive for the emigration!
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So, if the motive for the emigration is that the emigrant is unable to perform the rituals of his religion in the place where he resides in his homeland, then emigration is permissible even if the father or both parents do not give permission. Is the answer clear?
The questioner : Clear, yes.
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner : But the situation in Libya is that he is unable to establish his religion.
The Shaykh : I am not concerned with that; I am not Libyan, I have never entered it, and I do not know what happens there. As it is said: "The people of Makkah know its valleys best."
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : The important thing is that you asked and I answered you with complete clarity. The application is for the one who is accountable, not for the mufti. The mufti answers according to the question.
The questioner : So, O our Shaykh, you are saying that if he is able to establish his religion, and here he means he sought his family's permission, and if he is not able, then whether they give him permission or not, he leaves!
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : And may He reward you.
The Shaykh : Yes!
The questioner : Please, go ahead and speak with me.
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : Hello, please go ahead and speak.
Another questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
The questioner : How are you?
