Summary
This irsyad states that a child has no room to deny the obligation to care for and show kindness to his or her parents. The duty is commanded by Allah, based on Surah al-Isra' verse 23 and a hadith in Sahih Muslim that condemns those who fail to serve elderly parents. The quarrelling among children to avoid this responsibility is regarded as saddening and contrary to the command.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, tidak ada ruang sebagai seorang anak dalam menidakkan kewajipan untuk menjaga dan berbuat baik terhadap ibu dan ayah.
