A: Walaikumsalam,

When we choose to live in a country, we should also obey its laws. If the laws violate what we believe in, a procedure needs to be followed to amend its laws. Likewise, one should not break the laws of religion. As a general rule, one should never disobey their parents.

I would advice you to really think of the direction in which you are heading. Going from one country to another without good counsel may not be in your best interest. Although I appreciate you wanting to do the correct thing, the correct thing must also be done in a correct manner.

Allah Certainly Knows Best.
