Are parents required to facilitate their children's obedience to them, and what is the ruling on one who makes this obedience difficult?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Parents must help their children obey Allah and obey their parents, by raising them with the fear of Allah and instilling the importance of obeying and being dutiful to parents, and by not being stubborn in their requests. If parents fall short in this, it is not permissible for the child to treat their parents harshly or to stop obeying them. Rather, the child must obey them in what they are capable of and in what does not involve disobedience to Allah.
