Filial piety is among the most emphasized obligations. It is achieved by obeying parents, respecting them, praying for them, lowering one's voice in their presence, and offering them gifts. Disobeying parents and severing kinship ties are major sins. It is not permissible for a father to abandon his children. If the father insists on his stance of abandonment, then the children are not blameworthy for ceasing visits that are met with insult, provided that they do not completely cut him off and continue to communicate with him through messages and gifts.
