The questioner : I wanted to sell my house, but the father refused that with a categorical refusal, so I disliked the sale, and he is not interested either. Is it permissible for me to...
The Shaykh : What? You disliked the sale?
The questioner : Yes, he says he disliked the sale of the house, and he is not interested in it either. Is it permissible for me to sell it in the situation described?
The Shaykh : How is it that the father is not pleased with the sale, nor with keeping it?
The questioner : No, he means that the son disliked the sale, and the father is not interested.
The Shaykh : Not pleased with what?
The questioner : With the sale.
The Shaykh : If your father dislikes your selling your house, do not sell it.
The questioner : Very well.
The Shaykh : We tell the questioner: If your father dislikes the sale of your house, do not sell it, in order to please your father.
The questioner : Very well.
The Shaykh : Unless in a case of dire necessity and pressing need, such as if the house is high in price and you are in need of money and you want to sell it to buy something else, then there is no blame on you in this situation to sell it, even if your father dislikes it. But you should try to appease your father in this situation and try to convince him by all means you can. As for if there is no pressing need, then following your father’s pleasure is better for you, and it may also be better for you in this world. It may be that not selling it is better for you in the future. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
