Combining dutifulness to a non-Muslim parent with disavowal of him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: My father is not a Muslim, so how do I combine being dutiful to him and doing him good with disavowing him?
Answer:
Disavowal is from the love you have for him, whereas being dutiful is dealing with him through kindness and good conduct, in the sense of treating him well and repaying his kindness, while you do not love him in your heart. There is a difference between these two. Yes.
