Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Shaykh, a young man insulted his father in a state of anger and has regretted it greatly. He tried with the father to seek his pardon and forgiveness, but unfortunately, the father was unable to forgive him. He asks: Is there a repentance for me in this matter?
Answer:
Yes, the repentance is accepted, if Allah wills, but the right of the father remains; because this is the right of a created being. Repentance is accepted in the relationship between you and Allah, but in the relationship between you and the father, this is the right of a created being, and it is not dropped unless he drops it and forgives it. Yes.
