Summary
Joining an usrah or knowledge gathering without parental permission is permissible, subject to conditions. The gathering must be based on sound knowledge and must not contradict Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jamaah, Islamic law or the laws of the country, and the child must not deliberately hurt the parents. Adult children are encouraged to use wisdom and are allowed to use tactful means if necessary. For minors under 18, if parents forbid a particular group out of concern for their child's thinking and safety, their instruction should be obeyed.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
