Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: My father ordered me to marry a woman who does not pray. He says: Is it dutifulness to parents to obey this order?
Answer:
No, you do not obey your father in disobedience to Allah; you obey him in what is right.[Luqman 31:15] You treat them kindly in matters of this world. Yes, you spend on them and do good to them, but you do not love them or feel secure in them. Yes.
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: My father ordered me to marry a woman who does not pray. He says: Is it dutifulness to parents to obey this order?
Answer:
No, you do not obey your father in disobedience to Allah; you obey him in what is right.
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
