I think the answer might be
TOGETHER
Reasoning
"Ask TO GET HER permission"
is a grammatical and logical statement and the words join to form the word TOGETHER
Also
There is an inherent hint in that we are joining the prefix, infix, suffix TOGETHER.

There's a somewhat uncommon English word which satisfies this statement:
THEREFOR, a word meaning 'for, or in exchange for this/that' in the sense of "You've returned this item so I'll give you a refund therefor." (NB This is a different meaning to the more commonly used but similar-appearing 'therefore'...)
The statement then becomes: Ask THE_ REF _FOR permission. This would be perfectly valid in the context of a sports match where a player is advised to speak to the referee (commonly, 'ref') with a request...

1$\begingroup$ @RoundTower The way the affix-riddles usually work, you're allowed overlap between the different -fixes :) So that 'F' only appears once in the whole word but can be used in more than one of its divisions. $\endgroup$– StivJan 28, 2021 at 14:21

I'd like to build a place to relax... I'll need to ask
for rest station
permission.
What could be more relaxing than
building it in the middle of some natural forestation
If there's not enough in my area, perhaps I need to ask
for rest land
permission. I can then
plant some trees to make some more forestland.
