Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Which has the greater reward: seeking knowledge or being dutiful to one's parents? It is known that the parents are the ones who encourage their son to seek knowledge and to be patient in it.

Answer:
There is no conflict between seeking knowledge and pleasing one's parents; one combines the two, and praise be to Allah, there is no contradiction between them.
