Question:
He says: My father smokes shisha, and sometimes he orders me to prepare the coals. If I refuse, is that considered undutifulness to the father? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is not undutifulness to the father, but after advising him, we advise him that this is harmful, that it is forbidden, and that it is a matter that is not permissible. And your helping him would be helping in sin, and helping in sin is not permissible. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Ma'idah 5:2] It is obligatory to advise him and to make it clear that this is a matter that is not permissible for him, and it is not permissible for you to help him in this sin. Yes.

And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression.
