Ruling on leaving one of the parents to go seek knowledge
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner from Jeddah asks: Is it permissible for a student of knowledge to leave his mother alone and go to seek Islamic knowledge?
Answer:
This requires a detailed explanation. If she has someone to take care of her, serve her, and meet her needs, there is nothing wrong with it; because seeking knowledge is obligatory, so he must ensure her needs are met and then go to seek knowledge. There is no harm in this, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter: Thank you, O Shaykh, and may Allah bless you, and your knowledge, and benefit Islam and the Muslims through you.
