The question

Are we sinful if we advise our father who prevents us from giving charity and doing good deeds, and we disobey his command by continuing to do so? And is he entitled to sell our property without our consent based on the hadith "The son's money is for his father"? And is boycotting a father due to his bad deeds considered a sin?

The answer

One must always be dutiful and kind to parents, for Allah has commanded this in more than one verse, such as His saying, "And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And to parents, good treatment" (Quran 17:23), and His saying, "And We have enjoined upon man, concerning his parents, good treatment" (Quran 46:15). Any act that contradicts this is considered disobedience (uqooq) and a major sin. Boycotting parents is a forbidden form of disobedience. If estrangement is forbidden with those other than parents, it is even more strictly forbidden with them. As for the father's dealings with others, he should be advised concerning them; if he accepts the advice, then so be it, and if he does not, then one should pray for his guidance. As for a father selling the property of his children without their consent, that is a matter for another .
