The answer

This father is psychologically and sexually ill and needs intensive treatment. The daughter must take measures to prevent her father from harassing her, such as not staying alone with him and locking her room door. These practices can be stopped by treating the father or exposing him, while being prepared for the consequences. The causes of this deviance include weak faith, drug addiction, psychological illness, watching pornography, idleness, and leniency in dress and provocative actions. Treatment requires promoting virtue, strengthening faith, staying away from provocations, avoiding bad company, adhering to lawful dress, providing a spacious dwelling, the mother's role in vigilance, informing wise relatives, or resorting to the judiciary. The questioner must resist her father strongly and seek help, and if solutions fail, she must leave the home.
