The answer

If your father is abusive and negligent, his right to dutifulness and companionship with kindness does not diminish. Therefore, it is not permissible for you to abandon him or treat him badly. Rather, you must advise him gently and courteously, for honoring one's parents is among the best deeds and most beloved to Allah.
