Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says, "Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. My question is that my father is suffering from kidney failure and undergoes dialysis daily. The doctors advise him not to consume too much water, because excessive water harms him, as it accumulates in his body, leading to difficulty in breathing. He frequently asks for water, and we give him small doses, refusing to give him more when he asks, given his health. Is this action of ours considered undutifulness to parents or not?"
Answer:
Do not give it to him except upon the doctors' instruction. Follow the doctors' advice, for they know best what suits him, and he does not know what is in his interest. So, consult the doctors regarding the amount of water to give him and the frequency with which it is given. Yes.
