He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on one who prioritizes obedience to his children over obedience to Allah the Exalted? Is this considered a form of shirk (associating partners with Allah)?
The Shaykh:
It is a type of shirk, yes, a type of shirk, yes.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
If it is that your fathers and your sons, to the words of Allah the Exalted, “Are they more beloved to you than Allah and His Messenger and striving in His Cause?” then wait, meaning wait until Allah brings His command. This is a warning. And Allah does not guide the people of open sinfulness. This is a warning of open sinfulness. Yes.
