The answer

A father is not obligated to gift an apartment to his son for free, and his demand for its price is not considered an injustice. Filial piety is obligatory even if parents commit injustice, as Allah the Almighty says: "And accompany them in the world with beneficence," and as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The parent is the best of the gates of Paradise." The pleasure of the Lord lies in the pleasure of the parent, and His displeasure lies in their displeasure.
