Question:
The questioner says in her final question: A mother has many rights, but does she have the right to speak harsh, sinful, and ugly words toward her daughters, when Allah knows their purity?
Answer:
It is obligatory for children to be dutiful to their parents, to treat them with kindness, and to be gentle with them, because their right is great. As Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Isra: 23], and He said: [Luqman: 14], and He the Glorious and Majestic said: [Al-Hajj: 15]. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked, it was said: “O Messenger of Allah! Who is the most deserving of people of good companionship?” He said: . He said: “Then who?” He said: . He said: “Then who?” He said: . He said: “Then who?” He said: . In the other narration: “O Messenger of Allah! Who is the most dutiful?” He said: . He said: “Then who?” He said: . He said: “Then who?” He said: . He said: “Then who?” He said: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1897Hasan (Darussalam). So being dutiful to them is obligatory, as is kindness to them, gentleness with them, good companionship with them, and pleasant speech with them; this is the duty of the children.
As for the parents, they must fear Allah regarding their children, treat the children well, and strive to raise them with a righteous upbringing. They must not wrong their children without right, neither in speech nor in action. It is obligatory for the mother and the father to guard their tongues from what harms the children, such as cursing and bad speech without right.
They have a right, and the children have a right over them. Their right is that they treat their children well and raise them with a Shari'ah-based upbringing. They must also beware of cursing them or describing them with falsehood, because this causes enmity, hatred, and severance of ties. So each party must fulfill their duty: the children must fulfill the right upon them of dutifulness, maintaining ties, and kindness, and the parents must fear Allah, treat their children well, and keep harm away from them. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you, and may Allah reward us and the Muslims with the best reward.

أَنِ اشْكُرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيْكَ إِلَيَّ الْمَصِيرُAnd We have enjoined upon man, to his parents, good treatment.
