The permission of the parents in seeking the recommended knowledge
Ibn Haani an-Naysaaboori said; I heard abu Abdillaah (Imaam Ahmad) when he was asked by a man seeking the permission of his parents in going out to seek Hadeeth and that which will benefit him. He said; if it is to seek knowledge then I see no harm if he doesn?t seek their permission in seeking knowledge and that which will benefit him.
Al-Marwadhi said to abu Abdillaah (Imaam Ahmad): Should a man seek knowledge and ask the permission of his mother while he knows that his staying is more beloved to her? He said; if he is ignorant to the fact that he doesn?t know how to divorce or pray, then that he seeks knowledge is more beloved to me, and if he knows these matters then that he remains with her is more beloved to me.
Al-Khalaal reports from Imaam Ahmad that a man asked him; I seek knowledge and my mother prevents me from that, she wants that I busy myself with trade. He said to me; Look after her and please her and do not stop seeking (knowledge).
Al-Khateeb al-Baghdaadi said; and seeking the obligatory knowledge upon every Muslim is the seeking of that knowledge that he can?t afford to be ignorant of. It is permissible for him to travel without the permission of his parents if there is no one in his country who can teach him the obligatory rulings and rulings and legislation of Islaam, as for if he knows those obligatory matters, then traveling is disliked for him except with the permission of his parents.
Taken from the very beneficial book by sheikh Hamd ibn Ibraaheem al-Uthmaan abu Anas حفظه الله an-Nubadh in the manners of seeking knowledge.
