Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: In the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), it is stated that among the greatest of major sins is a man cursing his parents. He asks: Does this mean that cursing a man's parents is a major sin, coming immediately after shirk (associating partners with Allah), and being one of the seven destructive sins?
Answer:
Yes, indeed. The right of the parents comes after the right of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), even if they are mushrikin (those who associate partners with Allah)[Luqman 31:15] The parents have a right, even if they are disbelievers. Yes.

But if they endeavor to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them but accompany them in [this] world with appropriate kindness
وَإِن جَاهَدَاكَ عَلَىٰ أَن تُشْرِكَ بِي مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَا وَصَاحِبْهُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوفًا
