Enjoining good in the home despite the mother's anger

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: When I enjoin good and forbid evil with my brothers, problems arise in the home. My mother gets angry and upset, and she says to me, "I know you are right, but you have brought the problems." My mother gets sick because of these matters. What do you advise me to do?

Answer:
I advise you to use wisdom and gentleness. Use wisdom and gentleness in enjoining good and forbidding evil, especially in the home. Do not use harshness or severity. I do not think that if you used softness, wisdom, and good admonition, this would anger your father or cause any problems at all. It is harshness, roughness, and severity that cause problems. Yes.
