Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We move on to another question. Abu Abdullah from Riyadh asks, may Allah preserve you, about obedience to parents. If a son neglects his parents on the pretext that he is busy, what are the consequences of that?
Answer:
One should not be preoccupied to the neglect of his parents; his parents are the very thing he should be occupied with. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has made their right come after His own right:[An-Nisa 4:36]. So after worshipping Allah, the Exalted, comes the duty of being dutiful to one’s parents. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
