The ruling on being undutiful towards one's parents and how to repent
Question:
"What is the ruling on being undutiful towards one's parents and how does one repent from that?"
Answer:
"Being undutiful towards one's parents is a major from the major sins which comes after associating partners in worship (committing Shirk) with Allah, because the right of the parents comes straight after the right of Allah.
{Worship Allah and join none with Him in worship, and do good to the parents.} [Surah An-Nisa 4:36]
{And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents.} [Surah Al-Isra 17:23]
Thus being undutiful towards them is a major from the major sins. If they are still alive then he has to ask them to forgive him, repent to Allah and be dutiful towards them. And if they have already passed away and he used to be undutiful towards them then he has to ask Allah to forgive them, supplicate to Allah for them and give charity on their behalf so that perhaps Allah may lighten the burden for him."

السؤال: ما حكم عقوق الوالدين وما السبيل للتوبة؟
الجواب: عقوق الوالدين كبيرة من كبائر الذنوب يأتي بعد الشرك بالله -عز وجل-لأن حق الوالدين يأتي بعد حق الله(وَاعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا ۖ وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا)،(وَقَضَىٰ رَبُّكَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوا إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا ۚ) فعقوقهما كبيرة من كبائر الذنوب فإن كانا حيين فإنه يستسمحهما ويتوب إلى الله ويبر بهما وإن كانا ميتين وقد عقّهُما فإنه يستغفر الله لهما ويدعوا الله لها ويتصدق عنهما لعل الله أن يخفف عنه ذلك
