What is the way to honor one's parents from all aspects?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Filial piety means being good to one's parents and doing everything that pleases them, provided it is an act of obedience to Allah Almighty and not forbidden. It also includes being good to their friends, based on the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Indeed, the most righteous of deeds is for a man to uphold ties with the people his father loved." Disobedience (uquq) is anything that causes significant harm to a parent, unless it is an obligation. It is also said that one must obey them in everything that is not forbidden, and one must obey them in matters of doubt (shubuhat).
