Convincing one’s parents that one wishes to study something Islamically beneficial

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I want to pursue a career that is more or entirely Islamically alligned but my parents want me to pursue architecture in which I have little to no interest especially as it is not Islamically beneficial (except obeying my parents). I can convince my parents and they will accept but they will not accept very happily. What should I choose?

Bismillaah

A: It is alright to try and convince your parents.

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