Obeying parents is obligatory when their purpose is sound and there is no harm to the child. If they prevent their child from memorizing the Qur’an for a valid reason, such as their need for him, then their obedience is obligatory; otherwise, it is not. Similarly, they are not to be obeyed if they continuously prevent the performance of acts without a valid reason, or if they prevent the performance of obligatory acts. A child may travel for trade or similar purposes without the parents' permission, provided there is no harm to him in doing so.
