His father’s belief is corrupt, and if he objects to it, he will be expelled from the house

The second question of Fatwa No. ( 10716 )
Q 2: I am a young man, 19 years old, and I want to hold fast to the methodology of our Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and the righteous Salaf, but I face a major obstacle standing in my way. My father is a sectarian man, and he holds a corrupt belief in creed, namely: he does not like to be spoken to about any topic, whether it is this one or another.
And if I were to call him to this call, I would expose myself to his anger, and he would be angry with me and expel me from the house, and my relationship with him would be cut off, as well as with my family and relatives. What should I do, and what will be my standing before Allah? Give us a ruling, may Allah reward you.

A 2 : Obey your father in what is right, and advise him regarding his creed with good manners. Adhere to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, and act upon them, and cooperate in this with the people of the Sunnah. Treat your father in this world with kindness, in accordance with the saying of 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 and follow the way of those who turn back to Meوَإِنْ جَاهَدَاكَ عَلَى أَنْ تُشْرِكَ بِي مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ فَلا تُطِعْهُمَا وَصَاحِبْهُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوفًا وَاتَّبِعْ سَبِيلَ مَنْ أَنَابَ إِلَيَّ
[Luqman 31:15]
And call upon Allah to guide them to follow His path. Perhaps Allah will answer your supplication, so that they will hear your advice and He will guide your relatives to the truth. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
