What is the ruling on the behavior of a daughter who hates her father and does not want to see him or answer his calls, especially since he does not care for her or make her feel his fatherhood?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a father neglects to visit his daughter, he is a wrongdoer and severs ties of kinship. However, this does not negate his right to dutifulness and obedience in what is good. Therefore, she should maintain ties with him and obey him in what is good, and she should know that her dutifulness towards him is among the best deeds and a means of entering Paradise. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The father is the middle gate of Paradise, so if you wish, you may lose this gate or preserve it."
