SHAFAQNA – The Grand Ayatollah Seyyed Sadeq Rouhani answered questions about parents disowning their own child.
Question: If the child intends to carry out an act which is not against religion, and the parents are against it, if they tell the child that they will be dissatisfied with the child, and they will disown the child if the act is carried out, is this disowning effective? Can such a method be used against the adult and wise child according to the religion?
The Grand Ayatollah Rouhani: If an act which is not against religion but the parents say must not be done, and the parents will be dissatisfied if the child carries it out; then the child must not do it, and if the child does it, it is against religion. In brief, in non-Wajib cases and forbidden acts (Moharramat), it is Haram to oppose the father and the mother, in such a way that they are bothered by that act.

Assalamu Alaikum,
I am Mobin from India. I have a specific query – if any one can help.
A mother has 4 children. Husband died recently. One Elder unmarried daughter living with mother and rest all married. Little one is a son and is short tempered and bad mouth.
He physically abused that eldest unmarried sister and sexually harrassed her. He even slapped his mother. He tried to kill his eldest brother ( for no physical intimidation from
other side and only verbal altercation) but with Allah’s wish he escaped alive with 4 stitches on lips. Mother has a land and he is not agreeing to any solution possible in this
Covid situation. He want the land to be sold. What is Islam’s view on the abusive son and what are the possible punishment mentioned in Islam?
Thank you brother’s and sister’s for your reply.
Salaam Alyakum
