What is the ruling regarding children who insist on disobeying their parents and treating them as equals, raising their voices and harming them with words and actions, even though they know they are receiving all their rights but not fulfilling their duties?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Allah has made it obligatory to honor one's parents, respect them, and revere them, and He has forbidden everything that contradicts this, as stated in His Almighty words: "Worship Allah and associate nothing with Him, and to parents do good" and His saying: "And your Lord has decreed that you shall not worship except Him, and to parents, do good..." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, encouraged honoring the mother in particular. Therefore, children must apologize to their parents, repent to Allah, and refrain from such behaviors, while supplicating for their parents' success and guidance.
