Is a father's displeasure with his daughter, in the context of her hitting him after he had beaten her, religiously justifiable?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Allah has commanded filial piety towards parents and forbidden harming them. It is not permissible for a child to raise their voice or frown at their father, even if the father has erred or cursed his child. If a father strikes his child severely, the child should turn away and flee without retaliating in kind. Kicking the father is a grave abomination that is impermissible. The child must repent and apologize to their father, seeking his forgiveness, for the father's right is great, and the Lord's pleasure is found in his pleasure.
