Question:
And I conclude with the questions of the attendees. He says: Honorable Shaykh, if one of us caused trouble for his parents in his youth, sometimes disobeying them and sometimes obeying them, and then he married and began to seek their forgiveness so that they would pray for him and forgive him, will he be forgiven thereby and not be afflicted by his children? What is the way out?
Answer:
If they forgive him, if they forgive him and pardon him, then Allah will accept his repentance and pardon him. But he must continue to be dutiful to them for the rest of his life. As for what they have forgiven, Allah will pardon it.
