Is it permissible to disobey parents' command regarding the wife wearing a "wedding" dress that has no basis in Islam and does not cover the woman?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A Muslim must obey and be dutiful and gentle towards their parents as much as possible, provided that their obedience does not involve disobeying Allah's Law. This is based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Obedience is only in what is right." It is not permissible to obey them if they command a woman to wear immodest clothing in front of those to whom it is unlawful for them to look at her. The prohibition becomes even stronger if she is in her full adornment.
