The questioner : What is the best thing a Muslim can do for his parents while they are alive?
The Shaykh : The best thing a person can do for his parents while they are alive is the dutifulness that Allah commanded, and Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said:[Al-Isra 17:23] Excellence in conduct varies; it may be through speech, through action, or through wealth. It varies, but the important thing is that you do everything that counts as excellence toward your parents, according to what the situation requires.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
