Is a son's leaving home because his father introduced obscene channels and movies considered disobedience to parents, knowing that the son tried to advise him indirectly?

We advise the questioner not to leave the house unless he fears temptation for himself. He should continue to advise his father and remind him of Allah. Abandonment is linked to benefit and harm. If the benefit lies in not abandoning, such as enjoining good and forbidding evil and reducing corruption, then one should not abandon. However, if a Muslim fears temptation for himself, he must abandon the place of disobedience, even if his father is there, for "obedience is only in what is good."
