If the husband does not teach his wife the individual obligations, is it permissible for her to go out to classes of knowledge against his will, or not?

The questioner : This branches out from this: a woman whose husband does not teach her the individual obligations, which are obligatory upon him, is it permissible for her to go out against his will to classes of knowledge to learn?

The Shaykh : Ah, it is permissible and it is not permissible.

The questioner : There are two opinions in this issue.

The Shaykh : If she goes out to learn the individual obligation, it is permissible; otherwise, it is not.

The questioner : Go out against his will?

The Shaykh : What is this question of yours?

The questioner : This is a second question.

The Shaykh : [Laughter]. If the husband does not teach his wife what is obligatory upon her from the matters of her religion as an individual obligation, and she goes out without his permission to learn the knowledge that is individually obligatory upon her, it is permissible for her, because there is no obedience to the created in disobedience to the Creator. I mean by this restriction "against his will," even though it came in the question, but we must emphasize it in the answer, because she might go out, for example, to listen to a lesson. This lesson might be a lesson on retaliation, or a preacher, or... what is it called? The kishk. The one who makes the world noisy with his shouting and clamor, and they pray upon the Prophet and add to the prayer. If she goes out for something like this, she has not gone out to learn the individually obligatory knowledge, and therefore, there must be specification.
