Is restricting children in their studies and memorization of the Quran, and not allowing them to go out without permission, in addition to interfering in some household matters, considered disobedience to parents, especially since the mother is not pleased with this treatment?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A Muslim must honor and be kind to their parents, and harming them is forbidden. The mother, in particular, is singled out for even greater honor. It is not permissible to quarrel with one's mother or raise one's voice at her; rather, one must be gentle with her, speak to her kindly, and obey her in what is right. One should also be gentle with siblings and family members, and the education and upbringing of children should be handled with wisdom and firmness.
