The answer

The advice is summarized as striving to reconcile the parents, even by seeking help from wise individuals to clarify the causes of disagreement and advise the parents to live together amicably, and that reconciliation is better than divorce. They should also make it clear to the father that severe beating of children is impermissible, and that disciplinary beating should be the last resort after gentle guidance, reprimand, and deprivation, while observing the rules for beating when necessary. The questioner should strive in supplicating for his parents and siblings for reconciliation.
