Is it permissible for parents to make righteousness difficult for their son by insulting, reminding him of their favors, excessively interfering in his life, and using methods of expulsion, starvation, and threats of expulsion from university, while claiming they can do whatever they wish to their son, even if it reaches the point of beating, spitting, and slaughtering, and not caring about the verses and hadiths that forbid reminding of favors and causing harm? And is the son considered at fault for reacting to them? And will he be punished if he is unable to honor them due to the difficulty of doing so?

The rights of parents are great, but this does not permit them to oppress their children. Oppression is forbidden for everyone, and all are accountable before God. Parents have rights and also duties towards their children, as stated in the Hadith, "Each of you is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock." It is not true that parents have absolute discretion over their children, such as cursing, beating, or expelling them, for obedience to them is restricted to what is good and lawful (ma'ruf). The abuse or oppression of children by parents does not negate the parents' rights, and children must honor and obey them in matters that cause no harm. If a misstep occurs from the children, Allah is forgiving to the awwabeen, meaning those who turn back to Him in repentance after sinning.
