Dutifulness to Parents for the One Who Has Entered the Home
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah reward you. Parents have great rights of dutifulness. Some young people have distanced themselves from their parents, and the parents have become angry with them. Their anger increased when he was placed in this facility. How can he please them and continue to be dutiful to them, knowing that he is in this facility?
Answer:
He should make du'a' (supplication) for them. He should make du'a' for them for forgiveness and mercy, that Allah reward them well for what he has done, and that He magnify their rewards. He should correspond with them, and he should call them on the telephone as far as his ability allows, until he leaves this home, and he should fulfill what is obligatory of dutifulness. If he has wronged them in the past, he should ask for their forgiveness and repent to Allah; and whoever repents, Allah accepts his repentance. He should address them in the best manner, whether by telephone, by correspondence, or by visiting if possible. He should ask them for pardon, strive for every good, and make du'a' for them in their absence, in his prostration, at the end of the prayer, and at night he makes du'a' for his parents. This is what is prescribed for the believer.
