If the parents' fear regarding their son's ritual bath () is justified, such as cold weather and the unavailability of hot water, then he is permitted to resort to (dry ablution), and their obedience becomes obligatory. However, if the fear is unjustified, meaning hot water is available or the ghusl can be performed without harm, then he must perform the ghusl and is not permitted to obey them in abandoning it, because there is no obedience to a creature in disobedience to the Creator. The same applies to parents preventing their son from going to the mosque.
