1.         Sayyiduna Jabir Bin ‘Abdullah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا has narrated that the Prophet of creation, the Peace of our heart and mind, the most Generous and Kind صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: ‘The one who finds the month of Ramadan but does not fast in it is unfortunate; the one who has both of his parents or any one of them but does not treat them well is unfortunate; the one who hears me being mentioned but does not recite Salat upon me is unfortunate.’ (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Awsat, vol. 3, pp. 62, Hadees, 3871)

دو جہاں کی نعمتیں ملتی ہیں روزہ دار کو

جو نہیں رکھتا ہے روزہ وہ بڑا نادان ہے

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! The blessed Hadees we have just heard contains countless Madani pearls of warning for those who do not observe fasts, disobey their parents and are stingy to recite Salat-‘Alan-Nabi. Therefore, from today such people should make their Hereafter better by getting rid of their bad habits of missing the fasts of Ramadan, hurting the feelings of their parents and being stingy in reciting Salat-‘Alan-Nabi. Here this ruling should also be committed to memory that parents should be obeyed only in permissible acts, because it is not permissible as per the Shari’ah to obey anyone regarding those acts which are contrary to Shari’ah.

Regarding the question about the obedience to parents asked to A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه replied: It is Fard (compulsory) to obey the parents in permissible things, even if they are committing grave sins, as they will be punished for their sins and due to this no one is free from the obligation of their obedience in permissible acts. However! If they order one to perform any impermissible act (for example, to shave off the beard or to reduce it to less than a fist, to do unveiling or to wear impermissible clothing), then they should not be obeyed in these acts. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 21, pp. 157)
