Prioritizing the mother over the father

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man treats his father better than his mother, because his father lived in the home of the father and mother. Welcome.

Answer:
This is contrary to what is prescribed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recommended dutifulness to the mother three times and dutifulness to the father once. The mother has a right to be treated with dutifulness, and her right is more emphatic because of what she endured in pregnancy, breastfeeding, raising the child, removing harm from him, and other difficult things that the father does not do. Therefore, she deserves that her right be more emphatic than the father's right. Yes.
