Visiting a Father Who Engages in Excessive Backbiting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A person is prevented from visiting his father because the father engages in excessive backbiting. He says that the son’s attempts to persuade him to give up this trait have been unsuccessful. Does he commit a sin?
Answer:
He should not attend gatherings in which there is backbiting. As for visiting him, serving him, and being dutiful to him, that is not dropped from him; rather, he should leave and not attend gatherings in which there is what is to be avoided.
