I Want to Learn The Islamic Branches of Knowledge, but My Father Refuses
Question :
I want to learn the Shari'ah sciences, but my father is forcing me to learn the worldly sciences. What should I do ?
Answer:
You should work hard and learn Shari'ah sciences, so convince your father that this is what is compulsory for you to do, that learning your religion is a duty upon you to perform, and that he must allow you according to the scholars of the Shari'ah. For the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
"Indeed , obedience is only in what is good."
and :
"There is no obedience to creation in disobedience to the Creator."
Parents are not to be obeyed in disobedience to Allah, but the opposite is the case, parents are only obeyed in good, not evil.
