Undutifulness to parents
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: May I ask the honorable Shaykh Saleh for some guiding words for one who has been undutiful to his parents, especially his mother? I have been suffering from my daughter’s undutifulness for ten years or more; she has not contacted me, and I know nothing about her.
Answer:
The Shaykh: Undutifulness to parents is a major sin among the major sins, coming after shirk (associating partners with Allah), because the right of the parents comes after the right of Allah. (And worship Allah and associate nothing with Him, and be kind to parents.) There are many verses on this. So undutifulness is a major sin. Therefore, the child, whether male or female, if he or she has been undutiful to his or her parents, must repent to Allah, return to dutifulness toward his or her parents, and seek forgiveness for what he or she has done.
