Question

My mother and father are separated and I live with my father. I am 16 years old. If my father tells me that I can't go to my mother for holidays will it be permissable for me to go without his permission?If I go to my mother for holidays without my father's permission will I be sinful?

Answer

To visit your mother and serve her and be at her service is a duty. It is not an option. He is wrong in preventing you from seeing her.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
