Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I am a young man from Senegal, and praise be to Allah, I have memorized the Qur'an and I am steadfast upon the methodology of the people of the Sunnah and the community. Praise be to Allah. My father is a Tijani Sufi, and these days he is pressuring me and threatening me that I will leave the methodology of the people of the Sunnah for the Tijaniyyah. He took my passport and said to me, "Find another father, since you are on this path." He instructed my family, my mother and the household, that if he dies in these days, it is because of me and what I am upon. So what is your advice to me, may Allah grant you success, in this matter?
Answer:
Do not forget His saying, the Exalted:[Luqman 31:15] Be kind to him and be dutiful to him, but do not obey him in disobedience to Allah, in disbelief, in shirk (associating partners with Allah), or in the Tijaniyyah. Do not obey him in this, no matter what. Yes.

Answer:
Do not forget His saying, the Exalted:
But if they endeavor to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them but accompany them in [this] world with appropriate kindness
وَإِن جَاهَدَاكَ عَلَىٰ أَن تُشْرِكَ بِي مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَا وَصَاحِبْهُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوفًا
