The Ruling on a Child Cursing His Father Who Is Harsh in His Upbringing

Question:
Abu Ibrahima says: Honorable Shaykh, if a father has harshness and violence in his upbringing of his children, and these children have been driven away by it, but one of them supplicates against his father, even though he performs the prayers in the mosque with the congregation, and he says, "The upbringing of my children does not suit me," and he supplicates against him, is that permissible for him?

Answer:
It is not permissible to supplicate against a Muslim, let alone to supplicate against a father. The father is one to whom dutifulness is obligatory, in accordance with the Sunnah. One must be patient with what comes from him; if he has been severe or harsh, one should be patient with that. Perhaps the driving force behind his behavior is his intense concern for the upbringing of his children and their spouses. Therefore, it is not permissible to supplicate against the father. One must be patient with the harshness, severity, and cruelty in his treatment, while advising him about it. Yes.
