Do children suffer evil due to people's imprecations against their unjust father, and does Allah answer such a prayer?
It is not permissible for the wronged person to supplicate against anyone other than their oppressor, such as supplicating against their children, for Allah Almighty says: "And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another." The oppressor may be afflicted in their children for a divine wisdom. The son should advise his ill-mannered or disobedient father with wisdom and good counsel, while avoiding angering him, and should know that his father's right to dutifulness and obedience in what is right does not diminish due to his wrongdoing or bad character.
