Shouting at the parents despite loving them


317

Q 5: What is the ruling on a Muslim who shouts at his parents, even though he loves them very much; his love for them is next to his love for Allah and His Messenger? He shows anger to them, but he can never do them the least harm. Is he considered undutiful to them?


A: His rebuking of his parents makes him sinful; it is considered undutifulness (impiety) to parents, even if his heart is full of love for them and he hates to do them the least harm. Allah (Exalted be He) says (what means): And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents. (Part No. 25; Page No. 166) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
