Filial piety and kindness to parents are obligatory under all circumstances, for their disobedience is a grave sin. Allah Almighty has commanded companionship with them in kindness, even if they are polytheists. What a child offers to their parents cannot be compared to what the parents have offered. It is not permissible for a father to take money from the mother by stratagem to give it to the son, because that is not permissible in Islamic law; money is only permissible to take with the owner's willing consent.
