Seek permissions before taking action

This hadith is about the permission given by Umar Ibn Al Khattab to his son, Umar Ibn Abi Salama to perform the pilgrimage of Umrah during the month of Shawwal. It is narrated by Yahya from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Said Ibn Al Musayyab that once upon a time, Umar Ibn Abi Salama asked his father for permission to perform an umra during the month of Shawwal. His father gave him permission and he went on with his pilgrimage but did not go for Hajj afterwards. This hadith teaches us that it is important to seek permission before doing something as it can be beneficial or harmful depending on the situation at hand. It also teaches us that we should always respect our elders and their decisions as they are usually made with wisdom and knowledge which can help guide us in our lives.
