Question:Which sin is greater, adultery or disobedience to parents?
Answer:In the name of Allah, adultery. Allah knows best.
Question:Is it absolutely necessary to obey parents, is it desirable, or forbidden to harm them only, and not to obey them? What are the limits of rights, meaning when does a child become a parent-disobedient? Is it necessary for the child, if he was among the scholars and the father of the common people, to obey him [his father] in what he [the son] knows about his steps in worldly matters?
Answer:In the name of Allah, as for what is permissible in terms of being obligatory with any title, one must obey the parents in them, as in the holy Quranic verse “And, out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility, and say:”. As for harming them, if it is in obedience to Allah, then it is not forbidden in it, such as seeking due knowledge and exerting effort and night-time efforts by the student. If they forbid him solely because of love and compassion on him, it is not permissible for him to leave the duty. And it does not make any difference whether the parents are scholars or not. Allah knows best.
