Question:
If my parents disagree on a matter they ask of me, where one commands an action and the other forbids it, whom do I prioritize in obedience if I cannot satisfy both?
Answer:
Reconcile them and convince them. If they are convinced, praise be to Allah. If they are not convinced and the matter is permissible, not a sin, then you prioritize the mother. If the matter is permissible, contains no sin, and they are not convinced, you prioritize the mother's request. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
