The answer

It is not permissible to abuse or disown one's father, no matter how much he may err. Rather, it is obligatory to honor him and accompany him with kindness. The expiation for any previous neglect or mistreatment is repentance, which involves abandoning the sin, regretting it, resolving not to return to it, and seeking forgiveness from the father. Allah accepts repentance and pardons evil deeds.
