Question:
A questioner says: May Allah bless you. My father is advanced in age, and sometimes her mind wanders, so she curses me. I am the one who serves her, and sometimes I get angry with her and do not fulfill her requests. Is there any sin on me for this?

Answer:
Yes, do not get angry with him.
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
[Al-Isra 17:23]
You should be patient and seek reward from Allah, and you will be rewarded, if Allah wills. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
