Is the father who forced his daughter to travel to bear financial burdens considered disobedient to her, or does the daughter's hatred for her father as a result of that make her disobedient to him?
The financial support of an unmarried daughter is obligatory upon her capable father. He is not permitted to compel her to travel or work. If she is harmed in her place of residence, she should try to persuade her father to return. If he is unable to provide for her, then her brothers must support her without conditioning her residence with them. Obedience to the father is due in what is good and permissible, and obedience is not obligatory in what harms her. Online conversations with young men are not permissible; one must repent from them and sever the relationship. One must be cautious of any mistreatment towards the father, as it constitutes disobedience ( 'aqūq ), and his right to dutifulness (birr) is absolute. A person is not held accountable for an involuntary dislike of their father. The rejection of suitors may be due to sins or a trial.
