If they are defiant and disrespectful like this, you may cut off their pocket money, take away their cars, not pay their mobile phone expenses so that they would adhere and respect you as a father. This is intolerable behavior and attitude from them.

I am living in the UK and we currently receive money from the government and they give each child money to support them but this money is not enough for us and my husband does not give us money -(which he also receives from the government and claims it is his own)- to support his own children or to give masruf. he has left us to do businesses abroad and refuses to give money to us .

The son is sinful.

My husband’s brothers have slandered him and put some buhtan on him and also humiliated him in front of his children. Despite of all this, is it still compulsory on him to maintain kin? Or in this circumstance he can maintain distance from them due to their bad behavior with him.

My father is not practising Shia. My granddad told my dad to transfer £1,000 to me as a gift. My dad later told me he is going to keep it aside for me as savings which is under his full control (I can’t take however much I like from it). I want to know what Islam says. Is the money my right? If so, should I claim this right or give it up? I am almost 24 years old Muslimah.

It seems that they wouldn’t get any reward except what the children do for them or make Duaa for them.

I have firm belief that disobedience to parents leads to hell. I called u live asking abt going to eid fiest which is not segregated. My mom was telling me to go gradual with hijab. My parents didn’t call grandpa and when I asked mother to wear full length gown till the feet, my mother argued and had a big fight. What to do now?

You did your duty by advising them. Now, you take care of your own affairs and don’t join them.

I would like some advice on a family matter. My father is not speaking to my eldest sister over a matter that happened 15 years ago. Although in between that time he has spoke to her and when I asked why if he is upset with her, his words were because he needed her to do something, but he has now stopped talking to her. How can I help reunite them both together?
