Maintaining a relationship with parents who ill treat one
Question
What is the ruling regarding a person who's parents have been unfair to them and continue to do so? How should they maintain such a relationship with their parents as it hurts them and makes them upset with their parents all the time?
Answer
Show respect and make dua for them. Why should you be deprived of barkat because of their incorrect behaviour?
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
