===Are certain halal things, in fact, haram?===
Being good to your parents, phrased as a positive action, sits awkwardly in a list of prohibited things that persons are instructed not do (the word ''haram'' is used in the Arabic).
{{Quote|{{Quran|6|151}}|Say, "Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited to you. [He commands] that you not associate anything with Him, '''and to parents, good treatment''', and do not kill your children out of poverty; We will provide for you and them. And do not approach immoralities - what is apparent of them and what is concealed. And do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden [to be killed] except by [legal] right. This has He instructed you that you may use reason."}}
As some critical scholars have pointed out, the verse seems to be based on similar lists of commandments where the word haram is not used, suggesting that the above verse experienced an unintentional interpolation at some point:
{{Quote|{{Quran|17|23}}|And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], "uff," and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word.}}
{{Quote|{{Quran|2|83}}|And [recall] when We took the covenant from the Children of Israel, [enjoining upon them], "Do not worship except Allah; and to parents do good and to relatives, orphans, and the needy. And speak to people good [words] and establish prayer and give zakah." Then you turned away, except a few of you, and you were refusing.}}
