What is the ruling on a father forcing his daughter to commit forbidden acts for his benefit?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
No one is permitted to command another to commit something forbidden, whether it be for their own benefit or not, for it is incumbent upon a believer to forbid evil. Obeying someone in disobedience to Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, is not permissible, due to the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "There is no obedience in disobedience to Allah; obedience is only in what is right."
