Is it permissible for a mother and her two daughters to travel to another city and leave the father alone, given his disapproval of that, and is the father's remaining in this remote city considered an injustice to his daughter?

The answer

The desire for marriage is innate, and whatever befalls a servant in this world is by Allah's divine decree and destiny. In times of trial, patience, seeking reward from Allah, and supplication are obligatory. One must think well of the father and supplicate for him, as he may have reasons for his decisions. It is suggested to speak with those close to the father to explain the situation to him. While marriage is important, life should not be confined to it; one should seek beneficial activities. It is not permissible for a wife to travel without her husband's permission, nor is it permissible for daughters to travel without their father's permission, for obedience to the father is obligatory, and disobedience to him is among the grave sins. A father is most concerned about his children.
