What is the ruling on the prayer of one who disobeys his parents by performing one of the supererogatory acts of prayer that they have forbidden?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The prayer of the mentioned son is valid, and he will be rewarded for completing it with its acts and recommended elements. His father should not interfere in this, as it is impermissible for a father to prevent his son from performing a regular Sunnah prayer or a voluntary prayer that does not require travel. Nevertheless, the son must avoid arguing and disputing with his parents to avoid being disobedient.
