"You and your wealth belong to your father" and the limits of obeying the parent
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Some fathers cite the hadith in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to their sons, using it to make them obey them in all circumstances and to take all their money. They claim that when the father is in need, the son must comply, even if it is the time of the obligatory prayer, preventing him from attending the congregation so that he can fulfill his worldly need.
The Shaykh:
This is not permissible. The right of the parent is undoubtedly obligatory, but on the condition that it does not conflict with the right of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). If it conflicts with the right of Allah, he tells him: "You are not praying with the congregation." He does not obey him, for there is no obedience to a created being in disobedience to the Creator. Yes.
The questioner:
He says that he takes all the money.
The Shaykh:
No, the scholars qualified it by saying that he may take what does not harm the son and what the son does not need. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
