Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: How should a Muslim treat his parents if they are disbelievers who hate Islam and prevent him from going to the mosque for prayer?
Answer:
He does not obey them in not going to the mosque. He goes to the mosque and disobeys them in that.[Luqman 31:15]. Being dutiful to them means being kind to them and doing good to them. As for obeying them in disobedience, no. Mishkat al-Masabih 3696 Yes.

Answer:
He does not obey them in not going to the mosque. He goes to the mosque and disobeys them in that.
But if they endeavor to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them but accompany them in [this] world with appropriate kindness
وَإِن جَاهَدَاكَ عَلَىٰ أَن تُشْرِكَ بِي مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَا وَصَاحِبْهُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوفًاA creature is not to be obeyed when it involves disobedience to the "Creator.”
لا طاعة لمخلوق في معصية الخالق
