Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What is the ruling when the command of the father conflicts with that of the mother?
If the command of the father and the mother conflict, it is obligatory to appease both of them and to fulfill the needs of the father and the needs of the mother. If that is not possible, one should look at which of them would suffer more harm if disobeyed. If the father is the one who would suffer more harm, then fulfill the father’s need. If the mother is the one who would suffer more harm, then fulfill the mother’s need. If they are equal, then give precedence to the mother; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked, “Who is the most deserving of my good companionship?” He said: “Your mother,He said: Then who?He said: Your mother,He said: Then who?He said: Your mother,He said: Then who?He said: Your father) .
