What is your advice for a father who uses inappropriate language and tells his sons, “You are disobedient sons in your youth, so how will it be when you grow up?”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a woman asking, and she says: If my husband gets angry at his sons, he uses inappropriate language toward them. He tells them, “You are disobedient sons in your youth, so how will it be when you grow up?” She mentioned other things as well. She asks: Is this considered dissatisfaction with Allah’s decree? And what is your advice for my husband regarding this?

Answer:
If they are actually disobedient to him, he may tell them, “You are disobedient,” so that they may be deterred and stop being disobedient. But if they are not disobedient, it is not permissible for him to say this to them. Yes.
