Mother commands son to wear clothes he dislikes
Assalamu alaykum, Shaykh. My mother often orders me to wear certain clothes that I do not like without a sound reason.

Changing Mathhab to obey father
My father once tried to convince me to change my Madhhab (School of Thought). He did so because my neighborhood follows the Hanafi Madhhab, and so when they see me pray, they ask him questions about me. He tried to convince me and at one point said, "Change your Madhhab. If you go to hell we will go together. Do not go to heaven leaving us behind,".. More
