Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Do not ask me, Shaykh Khalid, may Allah preserve you. Raise your questions, raise your voice, and give us all the questions. Please, go ahead.
The first question: Is there repentance for one who is undutiful to his parents? And what is the word of Your Eminence, Shaykh Salih, for those who have been deficient in their rights toward their parents? This is the first question. The second question: What is the way or path that leads to the expansion of the chest?
The third question: Regarding you, when we exceed the limit at the supermarket, the older ones with me, the Arabic one that I took from the supermarket, I took it from the grocery store or this supermarket, I deliver it to his car which is far away after the shopping. Is it permissible for me to leave it in the same place where my car is, or must I return it so that it is not a burden on me?
Well, thank you, Abdullah, may Allah bless you. Long life to you. May Allah welcome you. He asks about undutifulness to parents: Is there repentance?
The Shaykh:
Yes, every sin has a repentance, shirk (associating partners with Allah) and kufr (disbelief), undutifulness to parents, every sin has a repentance. If he repents to Allah, then Allah forgives it for him. Yes.
The questioner:
We ask you to advise the youth against undutifulness to their parents.
The Shaykh:
Yes, they must be dutiful to their parents and not be undutiful to them. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Isra 17:23]. Yes.

فَلَا تَقُل لَّهُمَا أُفٍّ وَلَا تَنْهَرْهُمَا وَقُل لَّهُمَا قَوْلًا كَرِيمًا
