Is the father who forces his daughter to break her fast and abuses her, despite knowing of her illness, to be punished?
You must fast what Allah has enjoined upon you, even if your father dislikes it, for there is no obedience to a creature in disobedience to the Creator. If fasting harms you due to illness, or increases it, or delays recovery, then you must break your fast and make up the days you missed after your recovery. It is incumbent upon the father to command his family to perform their obligations and abandon forbidden acts. His negligence in this exposes him to severe punishment. If he commands evil and forbids good, his sin is greater. You must be patient, advise your father, seek help from the righteous, and supplicate for his guidance. Be sure not to sit outside the house without necessity, and if you are compelled, adhere to the legal hijab.
