Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: My father expelled me for not shaving my beard, so what is my obligation toward my father?
Answer:
Your obligation is to be dutiful to your father and to treat him well, but do not obey him in disobedience. Shaving the beard is a sin. Even if your father expels you, do not obey him; do not shave your beard even if he expels you. You are on reward and on the right path, while he is mistaken and sinful. There is no obedience to a created being in disobedience to the Creator. However, his right is not dropped from you, so be dutiful to him and treat him well. Yes.
