What should a person do about their recurring religious discussions with their family, which include provocative and irreligious opinions on matters such as the disbelief of Christians, the authenticity of the Hadiths of Basra, and the shaving of the beard, especially when their evidence from the Quran and Sunnah is met with skepticism and accusations of extremism?
It is not permissible to abuse parents or raise one's voice at them. One must repent and seek their forgiveness. Provoking them does not justify raising one's voice. It is advisable to supplicate for them and to gently teach them matters of their religion, either directly, through others, or by them listening to indirect lectures. One must continue to advise them as long as there is hope for benefit; otherwise, one should wait for the appropriate time. It is advisable to be gentle with them and to be a good role model, and to counter their mistreatment with kindness, for the reward for that is good.
