The Father and His Kindness with His Children
A lady's father lives far away from them, and she and her siblings always keep in touch with him and check on him via phone; however, he never calls them or asks about them. What is the ruling?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Children must honor their parents without waiting for them to initiate kindness; it is their duty to be dutiful to them regardless of their behavior, and God knows best.
