The answer

It is not permissible for you to help your father sell beer that contains alcohol, nor is it permissible to abandon the Friday prayer without a valid excuse. Allah has forbidden intoxicants and all that intoxicates. Obedience to the father is obligatory except in matters that contradict obedience to Allah, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Obedience is only in what is right," and "There is no obedience to a creature in disobedience to the Creator." You must advise your father to stop selling beer and to stop insulting your mother.
