Forms of Undutifulness to Parents and Advice for Children
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: My mother, 'Abd Allah, sent this question. She says: Islam warns against undutifulness to parents, and I am suffering from this undutifulness from my children. Honorable Shaykh, what falls under undutifulness, and what are the forms that fall under it? May you be rewarded. I ask Honorable Shaykh Salih (may Allah preserve him) for advice for my children, for I do not see them except every six months or more.
Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic) commanded dutifulness to parents and informed that the right of the parents comes after His right (Glorified and Exalted is He). He said:[An-Nisa 4:36] [Al-Isra 17:23] So the right of the parents comes after the right of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and it is being dutiful to them.

Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic) commanded dutifulness to parents and informed that the right of the parents comes after His right (Glorified and Exalted is He). He said:
Worship Allah and associate nothing with Him, and to parents do good
وَاعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًاAnd your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment.
وَقَضَىٰ رَبُّكَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوا إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا
