Joining the family business

Submitted by admin on Tue, 2015-09-01 14:18

Q: I am from India. This academic year my graduation will be completed. I was planning for higher education. My parents want me to join in the family business. I am so helpless because higher education is my passion; without my passion I can't live comfortably. I actually mean I won't be alive. Since my parents are angry with my weird attitude they took me to a Mufti nearby. He suggests me to live up to my parents wish. I need an independent life. Is being independent a crime? What should I do?

A: We suggest that you respect your parents and you may continue with your studies through correspondence.

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