Dealing with a father who prevents advice and allows uncovered maids to enter

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Another questioner says: My father received his education in America and works for the Aramco company. Allah has granted me guidance, and I attend these lessons, and praise be to Allah for that. However, my father prevents me from speaking in advice in the gatherings of my relatives, and when I bring my family to visit, he mocks them and my children. Also, the maids who work for him are uncovered, and perhaps he brings them in to me to joke with them in front of me. The question is: Is it permissible for me to abandon visiting him? And what do you advise me to do, may Allah preserve you?

Answer:
We advise you to continue with the call, advice, and guidance, and do not obey your father in the prevention, because there is no obedience to a created being in disobedience to the Creator. So we advise you to continue in advice, guidance, and direction. If your father brings uncovered women to you and does not refrain from this, and you have advised him and he did not refrain, then do not visit him, do not go to him, do not sit in his house. You may pass by and greet him, but you do not sit in his house, you and your children. Take an apartment or another place and live in it. Yes.
