Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This listener from Sana'a, Yemen, says: O His Eminence the Shaykh: Is it permissible to go out to seek knowledge without the permission of one's parents, if the student is unable to acquire knowledge in his parents' country, given that he has brothers who can take care of his parents? Please guide us in light of this.
Answer:
Yes, if there is someone to take care of them, he goes out to seek knowledge. It is obligatory for him to go out to seek knowledge and to gain understanding of the religion. However, if they are in need of him and he is necessary to them, he stays with them and seeks knowledge in his own country, combining both benefits.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
