Obeying Parents vs. Standing Up for Yourself: Navigating Difficult Situations

Answered by 

Q: Do you have to obey your mother in everything except if they tell you to disobey Allah? (What if the parents tell you that you can’t go outside except on Mondays and they are abusive?)

Bismillaah

A: It is with regards to things that are not difficult and things that they genuinely need, provided they are easy for you.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
