Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: My father and mother call me on the phone, so I turn off the phone to them so that the loss and expense are on me, not on them. Is there any undutifulness to parents in my doing this?
The Shaykh:
Yes, do not turn off the phone in their faces. Listen to what they say, and reply to them.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
And if you want to benefit them, give them something other than the phone, give them money other than the phone, yes.
