Will children disobey their parents in the future if the father repents of his disobedience to his own parents?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Whoever repents sincerely from any sin does not deserve punishment for it, and becomes as if he had not sinned, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The one who repents from sin is like one who has no sin." So, an accepted repentance erases the sin, and its perpetrator is not punished, neither in this world nor in the hereafter. Therefore, whoever repents from disobeying parents will not be punished by having their children disobey them.
