Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: My father asked me to study at a university where there is free mixing of men and women, but I refused. He treats me differently from my brothers; he treats me harshly because of my refusal. What do you advise me to do? And what do you advise the father? May Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
The father should fear Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and return to the truth and the right path. The right path is with you; he must return to the right path. As for you, do not obey him in disobedience to Allah. There is no obedience to a created being in disobedience to the Creator.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Surat al-Imran: Allah the Exalted said regarding polytheist parents:[Luqman 31:15].

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 Me
وَإِن جَاهَدَاكَ عَلَىٰ أَن تُشْرِكَ بِي مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَا وَصَاحِبْهُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوفًا وَاتَّبِعْ سَبِيلَ مَنْ أَنَابَ إِلَيَّ
