Is obedience to parents obligatory in regulating Arabic satellite channels that show indecent Arabic films, knowing that disobedience causes their anger?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Obeying parents is obligatory if they command to abandon something forbidden, such as controlling channels and avoiding forbidden content. This obligation is reinforced by two commands: the command of Allah and the command of the parents. However, if they command to open forbidden channels, then there is no obedience to them in disobedience to Allah, and treating them with kindness remains obligatory.
