' is obligatory once in a lifetime, according to the more preponderant opinion among scholars. If 'Umrah becomes obligatory upon the son, he is not obliged to obey his parents if they forbid him from it. However, if he has already performed 'Umrah before, then he is obliged to obey his mother, because obeying her is obligatory, whereas performing an additional 'Umrah is supererogatory. The obligatory takes precedence over the supererogatory. If it is possible to combine filial piety with performing 'Umrah, that is better.
