If my father commits forbidden acts, is it obligatory for me to leave him?

The questioner: And he deals in ... and the son is engaged in prayer and worship, and so on. Does the son deserve to sit with his father and eat from his food and drink?

The Shaykh: Okay, if he does not want to sit with his father because of what I described, where should he go?

The questioner: He goes here in Jordan.

The Shaykh: Meaning he lives alone in Jordan - and upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah - yes.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: And why not in the same country where the father is, so that he can serve him on one hand, and be far from ... on the other hand? As for being far from him, that means he is not fulfilling the obligatory duty of serving him. Is the answer clear?

The questioner: And advising him, is that not so?

The Shaykh: I am asking him because I find him looking with a confused expression.

The questioner: Meaning, is it my right?

The Shaykh: I asked you, did you understand me? Or what is the benefit of us talking if we do not understand each other? It is not permissible for you to leave the country in which you are without your father's permission. And you must leave him because of the violation of the Shari'ah that you described. You must combine fulfilling your father's right over you with fleeing from participating in his disobedience to Allah. Did you understand me?
The student : I understood.

The Shaykh: All right.
The student : May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh: There is something.
The student: Regarding the 'aqiqah, professor.

The Shaykh: Yes.
