Is it permissible to pair the pleasure of the parents with the pleasure of Allah in a statement?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : For example, I said, according to the example, that Allah the Mighty and Majestic has bestowed upon me such and such, and so-and-so, what is your opinion? This "wa" (and)... and he said, his saying (peace and blessings be upon him), "Say, and do not say..." and "wa" (and), but you find "the pleasure of Allah and the pleasure of the parents." Explain this to us, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : No, this is not what we consider prescribed, but it is not of that nature, because the pleasure of the parent is a legal concept and not a created person, so it cannot be said that a created being is being paired with the Creator. The pleasure of the parents is from the pleasure of Allah; this is the reality. The pleasure of the parents is as it is in the noble verse:[Al-Isra 17:23]. The pleasure of the parents is a prescribed legal concept. So if he pairs it with the pleasure of Allah, it is not pairing a servant with his Lord, but pairing a worship with a worship, so there is nothing wrong with it. However, we do not recommend this matter because it was not mentioned in the Sunnah.

And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment
وقضى ربك ألا تعبدوا إلا بالله وبالوالدين إحسانا
