Obedience to the Husband or Parents in the Event of a Conflict
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In another question, Honorable Shaykh, if a woman is given the choice between obeying her husband or obeying her father or her mother, which takes precedence?
Answer:
Both have a right to her obedience. The husband has the right to obedience, and the father has the right to obedience. So she obeys both of them in what is good. If one of them orders her to commit a sin or to do something contrary to the Shari'ah, she does not obey him. There is no obedience to a created being in disobedience to the Creator. But if he orders her to do something permissible, she obeys him. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
