The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a Muslim son to demand a debt from his disbelieving father?
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible. The father has a right, even if he is a disbeliever; he has the right to dutifulness and kindness, even if he is a disbeliever. Yes.
The questioner:
I say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the father have the right to come?
The Shaykh:
The claim of the son against his father is not heard, yes.
