A
mother's order is to be respected, even in comparison with Allah's
command, on the condition that the action concerned does not fall within
the imperative and obligatory injunction. An example of that is Jihad,
in the way of Allah, or recommended prayers.
"A man came in the presence of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and
blessings be upon him and his progeny and said: I like to perform Jihad
in the cause of Allah, but my mother is not at all inclined towards my
doing so. The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him and his
progeny replied: Go back and remain with your mother. I swear by the
Lord that has sent me on a true mission that to remain with one's mother
for one night (and serving her and doing good to her) is better than
performing Jihad in the cause of Allah for a year."
The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him and his progeny
said, "If you are performing recommended prayers and your father calls
for you, do not break your prayers. But if your mother calls you, do
break your prayers".
The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him and his progeny
said: "A creature is not to be obeyed when it involves disobedience to
the Creator."
