Is it really against Islam to have personal boundaries with your parents?
Just wanted to share a situation I'm dealing with. I have this sensory thing where I prefer to wear socks all the time, even to bed. I make sure to change them regularly so they're clean, but my parents really don't like it. They don't give me clear reasons, just vague comments that don't make much sense to me. The other day, my mom jokingly threatened to check if I'm wearing socks while I'm asleep, and I told her honestly that it made me uncomfortable and asked her not to do that. I just don't feel okay with the idea of someone examining me in my sleep, you know? It turned into a bigger discussion where she basically said I have no right to tell her not to do something, and that I must obey everything my parents say because that's what Allah commands-that kids can't disagree with their parents at all. I wasn't even trying to argue about the socks themselves, just the boundary around my personal space. It almost felt like she thought I was rejecting her role as a parent, which isn't the case at all. Has anyone else faced something similar? Where do we draw the line between respecting our parents and maintaining our own comfort in Islam? JazakAllah for any advice or thoughts.
