Does a father's forcing his daughter to recite a daily portion (wird) of the Quran and pray in congregation with her mother, restricting her outings, interfering in her studies and work, constantly and harshly criticizing her and questioning her religiosity and morals, causing her siblings to shy away from religious commitment, and preventing her mother from visiting her elderly, sick mother, constitute disobedience (ʿuqūq) that warrants sin on the father's part? And does the daughter sin if she retorts to him or cries in protest of his harshness?

A daughter's diligence in reciting the Quran as an act of obedience to her father is not hypocrisy; rather, it is a blessed deed for which she earns two rewards. Her prayer in congregation with her mother is desirable and an act of obedience to her father, but it is not obligatory. A father's discouraging of beneficial worldly knowledge is incorrect, and she will be rewarded for learning and teaching it if her intention is sincere. She should advise her siblings and enjoin good upon them. A wife is permitted to visit her family in a reasonable manner as long as the husband does not fear they will corrupt her, and a mother must care for her needy grandmother even if her husband forbids her. Her crying due to her father's harm is not a forbidden complaint, but she must not respond to him with abusive words. Honoring one's parents is among the best deeds and most beloved to Allah.
