The answer

If the word was uttered by the father while he was in a state of absentmindedness, then there is no sin upon him. However, if it was uttered consciously and knowingly, and it constituted a curse against Allah, then it is apostasy. If he pronounces the two testimonies of faith or prays thereafter, he returns to Islam, and he must make up the day on which he apostatized, because apostasy invalidates the fast. He should be reminded of the ruling of the Sharia in this matter with gentleness and kindness.
