Is listening to religious lessons and reading matters related to religion without the parents' permission unlawful and considered deceit towards them, and what should a daughter do in this situation?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Listening to religious lectures and lessons is a commendable act in Islamic law, for which the doer is rewarded, and it is considered seeking knowledge. Parental permission is not required for this, unless it necessitates leaving the house. If parents instruct one to review school lessons at a specific time and forbid engaging in anything else, then obedience to them is obligatory. Whoever disobeys them must repent, feel remorse, and resolve not to return to such disobedience.
