ANSWER:

The son must try his level best with all the means he has in his ability to persuade his father to let him attend the masjid as this is an obligation from Allah and he is obliged to obey Allah even if this angers his father. His father must also go to the masjid as well! 

He should tell his father in a firm way that if he doesn’t go to the masjid, this will negatively impact his ability to study and he will get worse grades. 

QUESTION: How should a son handle a situation where his father is preventing him from attending nearby mosque prayers, claiming it affects his studies, despite having good grades? The father insists on stopping mosque visits or leaving home. Should the son comply until he finishes school and can support himself, or go out and live with relatives?
