What is the ruling on an unmarried young man leaving his family home and renting an independent residence due to excessive problems and interventions?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is permissible for a mature,成年 Muslim to live in a residence independent of his family, but he must honor his parents and treat them with kindness, and not abandon them or mistreat them, even if they mistreat him. Parents must be treated with respect, gentleness, reverence, and humility, for honoring them is among the greatest means of attaining Allah's pleasure and entering Paradise.
