Question
My parents live in India. They yearn to see their grandchildren. Therefore they insist on video phone calls whereby they could view my children. I explained that video-calling is not permissible. But they argue that the muftis are saying that it is permissible and obedience to parents is compulsory. Is it incumbent for me to obey my parents?
Answer
Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "Obedience for anyone in any act which is sin against Allah Ta'ala is not permissible."
Since video pictures are also haraam, it is not permissible to obey your parents in their haraam desire. The 'muftis' who claim that video-pictures are permissible, are at the minimum, stupid. Perhaps they are much worse than plain stupidity.
The practice of video phone calls has become widely and intensively prevalent because of the stupidity and deviation of moron 'muftis' who halaalize haraam left, right and centre in every department of life. The natural Imaani inhibition for haraam, which should be in Muslims, has been eliminated by the deluge of haraam fatwas of moron 'muftis'.
