Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If a man is afflicted with a father who is a sorcerer displaying satanic supernatural phenomena, does disclosing his secret in lectures and informing people that he is a sorcerer count as disavowing him, given that he has already advised and admonished him?
Answer:
In any case, the father, as you heard, has a right over his son to be treated with dutifulness, kindness, and financial support. Also, among the most obligatory duties of the son is advising his father and calling him to Allah. This is Ibrahim (peace be upon him); the first thing he started with was[Maryam 19:42]? "O my father, O my father," advising his father, hoping that Allah might guide him. And if he has followers who are impressed by him, he should clarify things to them and warn them about that sorcerer, and make it clear to people that he is misguided and that he is one of the close friends of Satan as long as he persists in this way.

[Mention] when he said to his father, "O my father, why do you worship that which does not hear and does not see and will not benefit you at all?
لِأَبِيهِ يَا أَبَتِ لِمَ تَعْبُدُ مَا لَا يَسْمَعُ وَلَا يُبْصِرُ وَلَا يُغْنِي عَنكَ شَيْئًا
