all of his property, and did not leave anything for his father so that he can live his life, in fact, he is trying to humiliate and disgrace him, and Allah Almighty has mentioned being obedient to the father in His Speech. In this scenario, he has opposed the command of Allah Almighty; has he become a rejector of the Divine command? And what is the Shar’i ruling for the one who denies the Divine Speech? And how sinful is he?

A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه replied: The aforementioned son is a sinner, a transgressor, a major sinner and one who is disobedient to his father, and he is deserving of severe punishment and Divine wrath. The disobedience of the father is the disobedience of Allah Almighty, and the displeasure of the father is the displeasure of Allah Almighty. If a person pleases his parents then they are his Paradise, and if he displeases them then they are his Hell.

Besides punishment in the Hereafter, he will be subjected to severe torment whilst living in the world, and there is fear that he will be unable to recite the Kalimah at the time of death.
