Is a son's refusal to obey his mother in abandoning asceticism, which causes her to fear for him, considered an act of disobedience (ʿuqūq) and a cause of her death? And is the parents' fear of harassment from security forces a valid justification for abandoning Sunnahs like iʿtikāf?

Your mother does not have to have died because of what you mentioned, and we hope that you are not sinful for what happened. We advise you to strive in honoring her after her death. We have elaborated on obeying parents by refraining from recommended acts in Fatwa no. 98964.
