What is the ruling on seeking the interpretation of a dream from one of the well-known interpreters without the mother's knowledge, if she has commanded that no one be told of the dream?

It is advisable to refrain from asking dream interpreters if the mother has a valid reason for her command, due to the obligation to obey parents in matters that do not involve disobedience, especially if they forbid something recommended (mustahabb). The mother might be afraid of envy (). One can try to convince the mother through calm dialogue that the questioner will only ask those whose piety and knowledge are trusted. If the mother does not give permission, then obedience is obligatory.
