Is it considered an act of disobedience (ʿuqūq) for a son to shorten his conversations with his father, answer only what is asked, and avoid initiating topics with him, out of fear of getting into verbal altercations that might lead to raising voices or uttering hurtful words?
This is not considered disobedience; rather, its doer will be rewarded if his intention is to avoid quarreling and raising his voice at his father. He can discuss topics with him that do not cause disagreement.
