Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: My father (may Allah guide him) favors some of his children over others, and when I speak to him about it, he gets angry with me and sees this action of mine as envy toward my brothers. What is your guidance in such a case?
Answer:
It is obligatory for the father to be just among his children. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 2587. So you did well in advising him, and he is required to accept this advice and not get angry, because this is what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
