Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: What is the obligatory extent of my dutifulness to my parents, given that I have a lot of work and travel? Is it sufficient to visit them weekly? And would that be of the praiseworthy dutifulness? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
Be dutiful to your parents according to what you are able to do and according to your capacity. Fear Allah as much as you are able, so you are dutiful to them according to your ability and according to your capacity, and Allah does not burden you with what you cannot do. Also, perhaps if you ask their forgiveness, seeking their pardon for your absence and your delay, and you explain to them your circumstances and your excuses, they are more merciful than you and they will forgive you. So the matter is based on mutual understanding. The matter is based on mutual understanding and persuasion between you and them. And perhaps a kind word will have more effect on them than giving them a lot of money; one kind word may have more impact than the impact of giving money. Yes.
