If a son fears for his religion due to associating with his father, whom he does not need, there is no sin upon him for leaving him and moving to a place where he can preserve his religion. This is provided that he continues to uphold his ties with him, obey him in matters that do not involve disobedience [to God], and persist in advising and reminding him. This is because the rights of parents are not forfeited by their disobedience or transgression. Allah Almighty said: "But if they endeavor to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them but accompany them in [this] world with appropriate kindness."
