Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on boycotting one's parents if there is a benefit in it?

Answer:
It is not permissible to boycott one's parents except if they are disbelievers. If they are disbelievers,
And I will leave you and those you invoke other than Allah and will invoke my Lordوَأَعْتَزِلُكُمْ وَمَا تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَأَدْعُو رَبِّي
[Maryam 19:48]
Ibrahim (peace be upon him) said, or if they are open sinners—they are not disbelievers, but they have a major sin, and you have advised them and they did not accept, and boycotting them has a benefit in that they will be deterred and leave it—then you boycott them if the boycott deters them. But if the boycott does not benefit them, then you must advise them and continue to be dutiful to them and do good to them. Yes.
