Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This young man says: “Abd al-Rahman, I am seventeen years old. From this pulpit, I urge young people to be dutiful to their fathers and their families. He says: ‘Honorable Shaykh, my father’s curse has struck me, and this curse has affected my life. I am now suffering from it. How do I escape from this curse that my father invoked upon me?’”
Answer:
If your father is alive, go back to him and ask for his forgiveness, and please him in whatever way Allah the Exalted has made easy for you. But if your father is dead, then give charity on his behalf, seek forgiveness for him, and make du'a' for him. This will alleviate the burden on you, if Allah wills. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good,
