The ruling on obeying one's parents in not going to jihad

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Question:
And another says: I want to go to jihad in the path of Allah, in Afghanistan, but I have a mother who does not allow me to do so, because she loves me very much. What is my position regarding her?

Answer:
You must obey your mother, and you do not go to jihad if your mother says: No, then no. So the jihad is in serving them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was approached by a man seeking his permission, and he said:

Are your parents alive?

أحي والداك؟

He said: Yes. 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 وإلا فبرهما

Bulugh al-Maram 11:5

, and in another narration:

So strive in them.

ففيهما فجاهد

And a man came to him .. his mother, and he said:

Stick to her

الزمها

and ordered him not to disobey her, and not to go against her obedience by going to jihad.

Question: And if he has brothers?

Answer: And if he has brothers, all of them must listen and obey in this matter; because jihad is a collective obligation.

Question: If the parents are disbelievers?

Answer: This is a matter for consideration; if they are disbelievers, it is a matter for consideration. And if Allah said:

but accompany them in [this] world with appropriate kindness

وَصَاحِبْهُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوفاً

[Luqman:15] Allah ordered to accompany them with kindness, and they are disbelievers. If they are upon shirk (associating partners with Allah), Allah ordered to accompany them with kindness. As for them being obeyed in leaving jihad, this is a matter for consideration.
