Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner asks: To what extent is obedience to the parents required? Is it obligatory in all circumstances?

Answer:
Yes, it is obligatory to obey one's parents except in disobedience to Allah. If they force you to
associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey themلِتُشْرِكَ بِي مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَا
[Al-'Ankabut 29:8]
As for everything other than disbelief and shirk (associating partners with Allah), he obeys his parents, and regarding sin, he obeys his parents in matters other than sin. Yes.
