Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 997/940=B/1430)

For hajj and umrah, it is not necessary to seek permission of parents, but seeking their advice and going on the pilgrimage with their consent and well wishes is appreciable and better, whether you go from Dubai or from your own country. The status of parents is very much higher.
