The answer

Obedience to parents is in matters that benefit them and do not harm the child. They do not have the right to force the discerning child to do what he does not want, especially in matters of study. Children should realize that parents are keen on their children's welfare and have greater life experience, so their advice should not be rejected. Among the rights of parents over their children are: honoring them and treating them kindly, being humble towards them and praying for them, maintaining ties with their relatives and honoring their friends, fulfilling their will, and financially supporting them when needed.
