Should you guide me on what to do about my father, whom I feel wants something illicit from me, flirts with me, practices sodomy with me, and disregards God's law? He exhibits behaviors such as approaching me and tracking my physical charms. When I informed my mother and sisters, they accused me, and I am trying to please my Lord through worship?

The questioner must fear Allah in describing her father with ugly attributes, especially given the possibility that these stem from his psychological disability. It is impermissible to accuse him of being "a sodomite at heart," due to the seriousness of this accusation.

Furthermore, negligence in prayer is one of the gravest evils, and prayer forbids indecency and evil. Some scholars have even gone to the extent of declaring the one who abandons prayer a disbeliever.

If you observe suspicious behaviors from your father, treat him as you would a stranger; do not remove your hijab in front of him, nor allow him to be alone with you.

It is necessary to diligently supplicate for his guidance and advise him gently and kindly, and to counsel the rest of the family members, and strive to find a righteous husband to move out of this environment.
