Is the woman who says "Yoh" to her mother and refuses to help her sinful, and is "Yoh" considered like the word "Uff" mentioned in the Quran?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The son's saying "Uff" to his mother when she asks him for a service is a form of disobedience (Uquq), and it resembles the word "Uff" which Allah has forbidden in the Holy Qur'an: "So do not say to them, 'Uff,' and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word" (17:23). The intention is that the child should not utter any expression indicating boredom or displeasure. The child must obey his parents and take the initiative to honor them, even if the request was not directed to his other siblings, in order to gain the pleasure of his parents, in which lies the pleasure of Allah.
