Question
Hello, is it permissible for children to contradict their parents' words?
Answer
Hello and blessings,
It is forbidden both in matters of Torah and in other mundane matters, and even in the absence of the parents, it is forbidden to contradict their words.
However, if one is discussing with his father in the context of study and Halacha, this is not considered contradicting his words.
