A mother ordering the disobedience of the father

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: If my mother orders me to disobey my father, what is the ruling in the Shari'ah regarding this?

Answer:
Do not obey her in that; do not disobey your father. This is disobedience, and
A creature is not to be obeyed when it involves disobedience to the "Creator.”لا طاعة لمخلوق في معصية الخالق
Mishkat al-Masabih 3696
, and this is an order to be undutiful to the father, an order to do something forbidden, and this is not permissible. Yes.
