Is a girl punished for praying for the death of her father who abuses her, harms her reputation and the reputation of her sisters, and refuses their marriage?
If a father abandons prayer, is addicted to drugs, and mistreats his family, he has erred, and one should be patient with him and supplicate for his guidance instead of supplicating against him, as that is an act of undutifulness. If a father prevents his daughters from marrying without a legitimate Islamic reason, this is an act of 'adhl (unjust prevention), and the girl has the right to refer her case to the Sharia judge for consideration, but she should first try to persuade him. It must be noted that accusing a father's daughters of dishonor is a serious matter and a grave sin.
