Will Allah be angry with a woman whose father is angry with her for not being perfect, even though she cannot achieve perfection due to her circumstances, knowing that her father is also not perfect?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Filial piety is one of the greatest acts of closeness [to Allah], for in it lies Allah's pleasure, and the father is the middle gate of Paradise. One must exert utmost effort in showing piety and kindness to the father to earn Allah's pleasure. Whatever the daughter is unable to do, whether by religious law or by custom, she is excused for it. If the father's anger is due to a legitimate religious reason, such as disobedience ( 'uquq ), then the daughter is sinful. However, if it is for an illegitimate reason, such as not excelling despite effort, then she bears no sin.
