Obedience in what is right
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader M. A. S. from Riyadh sent us the following question:
Q: I have been engaged for several years in teaching the memorization of the Qur'an in a place far from the city where my parents live. Therefore, they are asking me to stop teaching and work with one of my brothers who lives with them. I am hesitant about this matter because I fear that if I stop teaching, the students will be lost and forget what they have memorized of the Qur'an. What do you advise me? May Allah reward you with good.
A: We advise you to continue teaching the memorization of the Qur'an, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan Abi Dawud 1452Sahih (Al-Albani) It was narrated by Imam al-Bukhari in his Sahih, and because of the public benefit it brings to the Muslims. You are not obligated to obey your parents in abandoning this, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Sunan Abi Dawud 2625Sahih (Al-Albani) It is prescribed for you to make excuses to them with kind words and a good manner. And success is from Allah.
