Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This sister who is asking says: Honorable Shaykh, my father is quick to anger and uses very offensive language toward us. Do we receive a reward for being patient with him in this?
Answer:
Yes, there is no doubt about that. You are being generous with him, showing him a broad chest, and treating him with kindness. You do not put him in a position where he has to speak out of anger; you do not anger him. So, deal with him in the best manner and seek his pleasure. This is part of being dutiful to him. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
