Expiation for Undutifulness to Parents
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman from Yemen, from Abyan, says: I was undutiful to my parents, and my father used to curse me, saying, “May a husband come out who will ruin my eyes, and children who will make my life miserable.” I have avoided marriage for fear that my father’s curse would come true. Is there any deed that expiates undutifulness to parents?
Answer:
If her father is alive, she should please him and apologize to him. If her father is dead, she should be dutiful to him and give charity on his behalf, so that perhaps Allah will expiate her sins. She should marry, place her reliance on Allah, and marry to protect herself through marriage. Yes.
