The answer

It is recommended to seek beneficial knowledge from trustworthy scholars, and to adhere to the path of moderation without extremism or negligence, and to associate with righteous people. One must strive to reform their parents through supplication and gentle guidance if they are falling short in religious observance. There is no obedience to a creature in disobedience to the Creator, and shaving the beard is unlawful; this does not contradict showing dutifulness to parents. The statement that the entire is not authentic is a grave and dangerous denunciation.
