Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner’s topic. He says: I am from a disbelieving land, and my mother is a disbeliever. He says: How should I treat her and deal with her? What is your advice to me in this?

Answer:
Honor her, honor her, and be dutiful to her, even if she is a disbeliever. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) commanded dutifulness to parents, even if they are disbelievers, but do not obey them in disobedience to Allah. And 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]
, the father has a right, and even if he is a disbeliever, he is to be treated with dutifulness and kindness. Yes.
