ANSWER:

As long as this is your father’s house, you need to ask his permission first unless you are certain that he wouldn’t mind. 

My question is very old lady who comes every Thursday to our house for begging food or anything to eat so I give her without my parents knowing is that call sadaqah and will I be rewarded for that and my parents too because the lady is not a Muslim Or I am a sinner for not telling my parents that I’m giving food without them knowing.

Disobeying Parents is a Major sin. If I feel I disobeyed my parents in Past but repent for it to Allah Swt, is that Sufficient enough? Or need to ask forgiveness to parents too? What if one of my Parent passed away? But I am really Sorry whatever I did in past?

My father commits many sins (gossiping, cursing, smoking, wasing time on his laptop 24/7 movies, women, Fb) but when I try to advise him he gets angry and he doesn’t allow me to speak. I heard from another Shaikh that one shouldn’t sit with his/her parents when they are engaged in sins, but my dad is constantly smoking, on his laptop and sometimes gossips, does that mean I can’t sit with him?
