The answer

It is permissible to advise the father to separate from his wife if his remaining with her causes him harm. The advice should be given with wisdom and a gentle approach. Children must honor their father, treat him kindly, and not abandon him or mistreat him. They should look for a suitable wife for him if he needs to marry. If he does not accept the advice, then they must continue to be gentle and dutiful towards him.
