The Ruling on Seeking Permission from One's Parents for Jihad

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person wants to go out for jihad, does he have to seek his parents' permission?

Answer:
He must seek their permission. He said:
Go back and ask for their permission. If they permit you to go, then go for Jihad otherwise, be good to them (look after them).ارجع فاستأذنهما، فإن أذنا لك وإلا فبرّهما
Bulugh al-Maram 11:5
, except if the jihad is obligatory, such as when an enemy besieges the land, or if he is between the two battle lines, or if the imam mobilizes him; in that case, no permission is needed. In these three instances, it is obligatory for him to fight, and he does not seek permission.
