Regarding thy question about consultation of a father with
his son, or a son with his father, in matters of trade and commerce,
consultation is one of the fundamental elements of the foundation of the Law of
God. Such consultation is assuredly acceptable, whether between father and son,
or with others. There is nothing better than this. Man must consult in all
things for this will lead him to the depths of each problem and enable him to
find the right solution.
- `Abdu'l-Bahá (The Compilation of Compilations, vol.
I, Consultation)
