Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, "There is no obedience to the creation where there is disobedience to the creator. " (Mishkaat )




Commentary : Allah Ta'ala has placed obedience and kindness to parents immediately after his obedience and worship. Similarly the importance ofbeing obedient and kind to elders, tutors and other human beings has been stressed in the Noble Quran and the Hadith.
However, the principle behind these injunctions and advices is, as long as they do not contradict the law of Allah Ta'ala then we should be obedient and not show disrespect. If the advice or order from parents and elders is contrary to Shariah then to obey them will be impermissible. This disobedience, in order to be obedient to Allah Ta'ala, should nevertheless be done with respect and humility
