Undutifulness to Parents and Its Effect on the Acceptance of Deeds

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We return once again to questions via mobile phone. This one says: regarding his saying (peace and blessings be upon him)
"Shall I not inform you of the biggest of the great sins?" We said, "Yes, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)" He said, "To join partners in worship with Allah: to be undutiful to one's parents."ألا أنبئكم بأكبر الكبائر؟ قلنا بلى يا رسول الله، قال الإشراك بالله وعقوق الوالدين
Sahih al-Bukhari 5976
, is undutifulness to parents a cause for the rejection of deeds and their not being accepted?

Answer:
Undutifulness to parents brings about punishment from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and it is second only to shirk (associating partners with Allah) in rank. First is shirk, and second is undutifulness to parents. So the Muslim must avoid shirk, avoid undutifulness to parents, and avoid all other sins and disobedience, whether major or minor, and repent to Allah for whatever of them he has committed. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
