Is a father's obedience obligatory in not buying a motorcycle if his only argument is fear of accidents, despite his knowledge of my riding it with a friend, and my desire to buy it for religious and worldly benefits, such as avoiding mixing with the opposite sex, attending ذكر (remembrance of Allah) gatherings, maintaining kinship ties, and saving money?
You must obey your father if he has a valid reason for preventing you from buying the bicycle, such as fearing for you due to your lack of proficiency in riding. However, if his prevention is without a valid reason and you are in need of it, then you are not obliged to obey him. You should be gentle with him and try to convince him politely.
