Question:
This questioner, 'Abd al-'Aziz, says: What is the best method, in your view, Honorable Shaykh, when a son forbids evil to his father, when he sees in his father something that necessitates forbidding evil and he is falling short?
Answer:
Forbidding evil is done with wisdom, with the father and with others. It is done with gentleness. Wisdom means having knowledge and awareness that this is wrong or that this is a sin. So he must be gentle, and he must use softness and wisdom with the one he is forbidding evil to. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
