Question
Good evening. If parents think one way and their son thinks differently, is he allowed to tell his parents that he doesn't think that way?
Answer
Hello Rabbi,
It is forbidden to tell a parent that they are wrong, but it is permissible to respectfully suggest that there is another perspective.
