Is it considered an act of disobedience for a son to refuse to buy a plot of land for himself and wish to build an independent house on it, while the father insists that the son build his dwelling on top of the family home?
If the father is in need, his maintenance is obligatory according to what is reasonable upon his well-off children; otherwise, it is not obligatory. There is no harm in living away from the family home, and it is not considered an act of disobedience. The father does not have the right to interfere in all of his son's affairs. However, the son must honor his father and be kind to him in a way that does not harm the son himself, and it is not permissible to abuse him verbally or physically.
