Maintaining Ties with Parents from a Distance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This is a Sudanese resident in the Kingdom who says: I have my parents in Sudan, but I am unable to visit them except approximately every two years. Does this count as undutifulness to parents?
Answer:
Today, praise be to Allah, means of communication have become available. Contact them through communication means, by phone or by writing to them. This is facilitated today, praise be to Allah. Even if you do not travel, if you travel for the sake of maintaining family ties, that is good. But if that is difficult for you, then at least contact them through communication means, call them, greet them, and make supplication for them. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you,
