"have permission to" vs "have the permission to"
Thank you for your checking. I have a question.
Which should I use, "have permission to do something" or "have the permission to do something" ?
I know, in the case of the word "ability", I should use "the ability to do something".
Also, in the case of the word "decision", I should use "the".
For example,
·I made the decision to study abroad.
But, in the case of the word "permission", I noticed a lot of English native speakers use zero articles.
So, which is correct?
