Does the supplication of parents against their disobedient child fall under the Hadith of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, which states: "The answering of supplication is not conditioned by its exact wording, but rather by Allah's wisdom, whether He hastens it, compensates for it, or delays it so that it does not harm him?" And does the answered supplication against a disobedient child have a limit of disobedience, beyond which the one supplicating becomes an aggressor in the supplication, like the supplication of the wronged against his oppressor for him to enter Hellfire, especially with a history of bad behavior and a supplication against them with wrath?
The supplication of parents against their disobedient or unjust child is answered, by Allah's permission, especially if the disobedience is excessive. However, if the child repents with sincere repentance, then repentance erases what came before it, and the one who repents is not punished for his sin, as Ibn Taymiyyah said: "The one who repents is not punished, neither in this world nor in the hereafter, neither by religious law nor by divine decree." Therefore, strive for righteousness, dutifulness to your parents, and repentance to Allah, and do not despair of Allah's mercy.
