Honouring Parents
Author: Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid | Pages: 72 | Size: 1 MB
Allaah mentions the command to treat parents well alongside the command
to worship Him as He says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents”
[al-Isra’ 17:23]
Obedience to parents is obligatory on the child with regard to that
which will benefit them and will not harm the child. With regard to that
which does not bring them any benefits or which will cause harm to the
child, he does not have to obey them in that case.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in
al-Ikhtiyaaraat (p. 114): A person is obliged to obey his parents with
regard to that which is not sinful, even if they are immoral evildoers…
This has to do with that which is beneficial for them and not harmful to
him. End quote.
