There is no need to seek permission from parents for fasting unless their disapproval is known for a valid reason, such as the fasting affecting the performance of duties, causing physical harm, or leading to missing prayers. As for their disapproval merely out of compassion for the usual hardship of fasting, it is not to be heeded.
