The ruling on seeking a parent's permission to go for Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
He says: I performed Hajj, and when I returned from Hajj, my father was angry with me because I performed Hajj without his permission. What is the ruling on my Hajj, knowing that it is the first Hajj I have ever performed?
Answer: The obligatory Hajj does not require permission. It is obligatory for you to perform Hajj even if your father does not give you permission, and even if neither your father nor your mother is pleased. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 2625Sahih (Al-Albani), Mishkat al-Masabih 3696. However, if you inform him that you intend to perform Hajj using kind words, this is part of the prescribed etiquette. You say: "My father, the obligatory Hajj is a requirement, and I want to perform it." This is done to win his heart, and out of courtesy and kind speech, which is good. If he refuses, you are not required to obey him; rather, you are required to perform Hajj. However, speaking to him with kind words, seeking his permission, and informing him of the situation is good and pleasant, and it is one of the causes of hearts becoming pure. But if he prevents you, you are not required to obey him; rather, you are required to perform Hajj even if he refuses.
