1671. 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar said: "A man came to the Prophet ﷺ seeking permission to go for Jihād. So he said: 'Do you have parents (living)?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Then it is for them that you should perform Jihād.'" (Sahih) [Abū 'Eisā said:] There is something on this topic from Ibn 'Abbās. This Hadīth is Hasan Sahih. (One of the narrators) Abūl-'Abbās is the blind (Al-'A'mā) poet (Ash-Shā'ir), from Makkah, and his name is As-Sā'ib bin Farrūkh.
١٦٧١ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ وَشُعْبَةَ ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ: «جَاءَ رَجُلٌ» إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَأْذِنُهُ فِي الْجِهَادِ، فَقَالَ: أَلَكَ وَالِدَانِ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: فَفِيهِمَا فَجَاهِدْ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ. وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَأَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ هُوَ الشَّاعِرُ الْأَعْمَى الْمَكِّيُّ، وَاسْمُهُ: السَّائِبُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ.

Dutifulness towards parents and according respectful treatment to them is the bound duty of each individual. No one, therefore, is allowed to go out for Jihād without his parents' consent except in cases where, under the conditions of the time, Jihād becomes everyone's individual duty. Ibn Qudāmah has claimed unanimity among scholars on this point. The same view was held by the Companions, like 'Umar and 'Uthmān, and by the leading lights of succeeding generations, like Imām Mālik, Al-Awzā'ī, Ath-Thawrī and Ash-Shafī, just to name a few (Al-Mughnī, v.13, p.2625).
