Is a girl who grew up amidst family conflicts that affected her psyche and future, and who hits and curses her parents and retaliates against abuse with abuse, and argues with her father about his beliefs, considered disobedient to her parents (aqqah), and sinful for her actions? And will she be held accountable for these actions if she was under severe psychological pressure?
Disobeying one's parents is one of the gravest sins. Repentance involves ceasing the sin, regretting it, resolving not to return to it, and seeking their forgiveness. One must be dutiful to them, humble themselves before them, and treat them with respect and reverence, as Allah Almighty says: "So do not say to them, 'uff,' and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word. And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy and say, 'My Lord, have mercy upon them as they nurtured me when I was small.'" A person is responsible for their actions as long as their intellect is sound.
