In Islam, when faced with conflicting obligations, prioritize:
1. Obligations towards Allah (e.g., prayer, fasting)
2. Obligations towards parents and family
3. Obligations towards others (e.g., contracts, promises)
Consider the following steps:
1. Assess the urgency and importance of each obligation
2. Seek guidance from the Quran and Hadith
3. Consult with knowledgeable scholars or mentors
4. Use wisdom and reason to make a decision
5. Choose the option that causes the least harm or conflict
Remember, Islam emphasizes:
– Fulfilling obligations (Wajib)
– Avoiding harm (Dharar)
– Being truthful and transparent (Sidq)
– Seeking forgiveness and repentance (Tawbah) if unable to fulfill an obligation.
