The Ruling on Raising One's Voice at One's Parents and Being Undutiful to Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man from al-Jubayl, Muhammad, asks and says: May Allah bless you. Some of the young men, may Allah guide them, raise their voices at their parents. So what do you advise these people to do? Is undutifulness to parents a major sin among the major sins? And is it necessary for the undutiful person to repent?
Answer:
Yes, undutifulness to parents is a major sin among the major sins, because the right of the parents comes in the Qur'an and in the Book and the Sunnah after the right of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). For the greatest doer of good to you among creation after Allah (Mighty and Majestic) are your parents, so Allah coupled their right with His right.[An-Nisa 4:36] Yes.

Worship Allah and associate nothing with Him, and to parents do good
وَاعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا
