The question

Is a daughter eating food prepared by her wicked father – who commits abominations – considered a compromise at the expense of religion and an acceptance of his actions, especially if her leaving the food would anger him? And is it better to leave the food to denounce his actions and prevent him from assuming her approval?

The answer

A daughter eating from the food of her father who commits evil deeds is not considered an approval of his actions. She should eat from his food, honor him, treat him kindly, and gently and courteously denounce his evil deeds, because the commands and prohibitions concerning parents differ from those concerning others.

If she believes that her refraining from food will deter him, then she may refrain, as long as she does not harm herself or anger him.
