Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Is it permissible to be severe with the father in the hospital in order for him to improve his prayer, because, Honorable Shaykh, he suffers from a hearing impairment or weakness in his hearing? Do we receive reward for that?
Answer:
It is not permissible to be severe in addressing the father,[Al-Isra 17:23], so one must soften his speech with him, not disturb him, and not rebuke him. Yes.

Answer:
It is not permissible to be severe in addressing the father,
say not to them [so much as], "uff," and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word.
فَلَا تَقُل لَّهُمَا أُفٍّ وَلَا تَنْهَرْهُمَا وَقُل لَّهُمَا قَوْلًا كَرِيمًا
