The answer

The role of parents in raising their children does not end when the children reach adulthood; rather, it continues with advice and guidance, even if they are grown. Indeed, some jurists have explicitly stated the permissibility of a father disciplining his adult child. However, parents must consider the different age stages of their children in their interactions to avoid harm, as it was said: "Your son is your basil for seven [years], your servant for seven, your minister for seven, then he is either a friend or an enemy."
