A young woman seeking knowledge without her father's permission
The second question of Fatwa no. 18859
Q 2: What is the ruling on going out to the Masjid (mosque) or attending a Dhikr (Remembrance of Allah) session held at the house of a fellow Muslim without the father's permission? If my father knows about it, he will prevent me. But since one's Iman (faith) wears away in the manner of an old piece of cloth, I need to renew my Iman amid a society which is rife with wrong doings. Is it permissible for me to go out unnoticed?
A: A woman remains in the custody of her father until she gets married. Thus, she is not allowed to leave home without his permission whether she intends to go to the Masjid (mosque) or to any other place. It is obligatory on the Muslim, man or woman, to obey his father as long as the father does not ask him to do anything that involves the disobedience of Allah. We advise you to listen to the Holy Qur`an
