You Cannot Leave For Jihad Without Your Parents' Permission
Question :
I am twenty years old and I wish to go fight in the way of Allah Almighty in Afghanistan; I am eager to die a martyr by the will of Allah. Unfortunately though, my father refused allowing me to go, without having given me any reason. I have two older brothers who are capable of taking care of all household affairs without me. What should I do to please my father and to convince him to allow me to go?
Answer:
You cannot go abroad for Jihad without permission from your parents because the Messenger of Allah ordered seeking their permission for that. You are better off being dutiful to your parents and being obedient to them in what is good. We hope that for this you will get the reward of struggling in Allah's cause.
