Traveling Abroad for the Purpose of Calling to Islam What if My Parents Refuse to Give Permission?

Question :

Can I travel for the purpose of calling people to Islam, even though my parents don't permit me to go? Please support your answer with a Hadith.

Answer:

The sphere of inviting to Allâh is vast, but obeying your A parents is compulsory. Since Da'wah is an optional act of worship in these times because there are those who are working in this field you should obey your parents and serve them according to your ability.

Meanwhile, you should invite those people to Islam who are in your own country, whether individuals or groups. By doing this, you will get the reward for Da'wah while you are with your parents. But remember, you have to be an example to others, a person who is far above sin and disobedience to Allah Almighty; then, your Da'wah will be successful and Allâh Almighty will guide whom He pleases through you and your efforts, and Allah knows best.
