The ruling on dutifulness to a father who mistreats his children
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a woman asking: I would like to inquire. If a father (may Allah preserve him) mistreats his sons and daughters, if their father treats his sons and daughters with bad treatment, uses foul language toward them, and mistreats his daughters in front of their husbands, we need your guidance to the sons: to what degree should they be dutiful to this father of theirs?
Answer:
I think this has not come in this form, that a father’s fatherhood prevents him from this description, unless the sons caused his anger or his undutifulness. We do not hear from the sons, nor do we hear from the person; it must be from both. It is not the knowledge, you do not curse your fathers, do not curse your fathers, you hear someone who curses his father or his mother, do not listen to this, perhaps he is the one who is wrong toward his father, so stop in this matter until[Al-Hujurat 49:6].
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.

if there comes to you a disobedient one with information, investigate, lest you harm a people out of ignorance and become, over what you have done, regretful.
