What Is Meant Here
The point is not to deny the value of honoring one’s parents; rather, it is to deny that disobedience to them entails a ḥadd punishment. The supporting passage presents filial piety as an innate value, then mentions repentance and seeking forgiveness rather than a ḥadd in the case of disobedience.
What Is Attributed to Shahrur
This passage attributes to him the view that “honoring one’s parents is an innate value,” and that disobedience to them “does not entail a ḥadd in the final message,” while mentioning repentance and seeking forgiveness.
Atlas Explanation
It distinguishes between two levels: the value of filial piety on the one hand, and the ḥadd on the other. According to the quoted wording, violating the value of filial piety is not converted into a ḥadd. For the broader context of the construction of legislation and limits, see Muhammad Shahrur: Religion and Authority.
Limited Conclusion
This passage supports a reading according to which disobedience to parents is addressed here in terms of repentance and seeking forgiveness, rather than in terms of ḥadd punishment. This conclusion does not go beyond the wording cited in the supporting passage.
Open Question and Limit of the Reading
The supporting passage does not explain the definition of a ḥadd or its criteria, nor does it state what follows from disobedience beyond denying the ḥadd and mentioning repentance and seeking forgiveness. Therefore, this passage alone cannot support the conclusion that every other form of consequence or regulation is denied. For a reading within the related structure, see Legislation, Limits, and Prohibition.
