Spending the festival away from one's parents, and whether that constitutes undutifulness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: My father and my mother are outside Riyadh. Is it permissible for me to spend the festival outside Riyadh, when I am able to spend it with them outside Riyadh?
The Shaykh:
Is it permissible, what?
The questioner:
He asks that he is outside Riyadh, and his family, his father and mother, are outside Riyadh, and he
The Shaykh:
is in Riyadh.
The questioner:
Is this undutifulness to parents that he does not stay with them?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not undutifulness to parents. If he stays with them, that is better. Or if he stays with them because it was not easy for him to go, or he is tied up with work and it was not easy for him to go, then there is no blame on him. Yes.
