What should I do about my father who is addicted to alcohol, cigarettes, and consorting with women, who neglected his family, caused discord among his children, accused my mother of sorcery, does not accept advice, lives alone, and demands money from me, knowing that he is unjust between his wives and neglects us financially?
The father has committed major sins and abominations, including drinking alcohol, engaging in illicit relationships with foreign women, discriminating between his children, accusing the mother of sorcery, and associating with wicked people.
These actions are forbidden by Islamic law, and the father must repent to Allah Almighty.
The questioner should remind his father of Allah and encourage him to repent with gentleness and kindness, and seek assistance from good people, while maintaining good companionship with the father and not abandoning him, no matter what he does.
