The ruling on one who boycotts his parents and does not treat them with kindness on the grounds that they are disbelievers, and claims that he is not held accountable for that?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is one held accountable if he boycotts his disbelieving parents and does not treat them with kindness, saying, "I will not treat them with kindness until they submit to Islam, and I am not held accountable for this"?

Answer:
This is an ignorant person. This is from the ignorant. This is from those who complicate matters and do not understand the right of the parent. The right of kindness does not drop off, even if he is a follower of a false religion. It is obligatory to treat him with kindness, but it is not permissible to love him. Rather, one treats him with kindness only in terms of dealing with him, repaying kindness with kindness, because he was kind to you, raised you, and cared for you until you grew up. So you treat him with kindness. And this is by the explicit text of the Qur'an: "Treat them in this world with kindness." Yes.
