Is expressing anger at the grandparents' actions in raising the grandchild, which may harm their interests or conflict with obedience in Ramadan, considered "disobedience to parents" (uquq al-walidayn)? What is the jurisprudential position on this disagreement, and how should one act regarding it?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

One must control oneself, observe proper manners, and lower one's voice when speaking with parents. Raising one's voice at them is an act of disobedience (uquq), but it does not affect the acceptance of one's deeds. If you observe a mistake from them, you should object to it in a good and appropriate manner. Obeying parents in serving their grandchild is obligatory if the service is permissible, does not cause harm, and if they have a legitimate purpose.
