The ruling on obeying one's parents in returning to France
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: I emigrated from the lands of the disbelievers to the lands of Islam, but my father and mother are old in age, and they live in France. I am their only son, and they have no one to care for them. They wish to live in the lands of Islam after two years, and they have asked me to return to France so that I can care for them during this period. Is it obligatory for me to obey them?
Answer:
Yes, if they need you and ask you to return to them, it is obligatory for you to do so, because the right of the parents comes after the right of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)[An-Nisa 4:36] Yes.

Worship Allah and associate nothing with Him, and to parents do good
وَاعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا
