It is a sin to obeythem in unlawful matters. For example, if parents ask us to tella lie or shave the beard off or keep it less than a fistful, then dono listen to them at all on these things no matter how angrythey become. You will not be classified as being disobedient.However, if you do comply (on unlawful things) then you willbe classified as being disobedient to Allah .Similarly, if parents are divorced and no matter how muchmother cries and orders you not to meet your father, then thisorder will not be obeyed. You will have to meet your father andwill also have to serve him. Even though they have separatedbut the relationship with children is not broken. Children willhave to observe equal rights for both of them.What should one do if his parents died whilst displeasedwith him?The one whose parents have passed away while being displeased,he should abundantly supplicate for their forgiveness as the biggestgift for the deceased is the supplication for their forgiveness.
