If Parents Ask their Children to Abandon What is Sunnah


Question :

Is someone allowed to abandon a Sunnah in order to please his parents? For example, if his parents tell him not to wear a long shirt. And in this case, is there a difference between a recommended Sunnah and an obligatory Sunnah?


Answer:

If obeying one's father means contradicting one of Allah's orders or means perpetrating what Allah has forbidden, then there is no obedience to creation in what is disobedience to the Creator. So you cannot obey your father in something that involves disobedience to Allâh Almighty.
