Is it permissible for me to ask my parents for money?
Question
I really wish to be an actress but sadly i never ever get any roles in anything. so i have decided to have a filmmaking business in which i can fulfill my dreams, and cast out the jerks who have snubbed me and make them jealous. this will be called devashi films, i wish my parents finance it? it it ok for me to convince me. and i dont mind if its haram or not. i am truly devastated,sir. i hope you can see this.
Answer
Your pursuit of Haraam (i.e. the film industry) will only fuel your devastation. Your depression will only worsen the further you move away from Deen. Why don't you steer your dreams in the right direction?
Pursue an Islamically legitimate form of business and then, by all means, you may approach your parents for a loan.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
