Etiquette with Parents
Seeking their permission before optional jihad or travel if they depend on you
The Prophet (SAW) asked a man seeking permission for jihad whether his parents were living, and upon hearing yes, directed him to strive in their service instead.
Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Amr (RA)
