July 2026

I am a young unmarried woman living at my parents' house. My mother is the primary caregiver for my sick grandmother, so she has been living with her for the past year. As a result, I've been living alone with my father.

For lunch and dinner, we usually don't have a fixed routine. Sometimes I cook, sometimes we order takeout, and other times we buy something quick and make a salad or a simple meal.

I work full-time, and over the past month I haven't had much time to cook, so I mostly eat whatever is available at home. I pay for all of my own personal expenses except food.

Recently, my father and I had an argument. Since then, he has stopped getting dinner for me. He will buy takeout for himself, bring it home, and eat it while I am left with nothing.

I find this situation very hurtful and unfair. I was wondering whether, from an Islamic perspective, he is neglecting any religious obligation toward me as his unmarried daughter. What are my rights in this situation, and what would be the best way to handle it?

Argument context: The argument happened on Eid al-Adha. We were supposed to go home together, but he drove off without waiting for me. I called him, but he hung up on me. I tried calling several more times, but he didn't answer. I also left him multiple voice messages asking why he had done that, telling him how hurt I was, and explaining what had upset me.

He hasn't spoken a single word to me since then.

I was born and raised a muslim, however, my family was never really religious, it was more so of a *Pray if you want* kinda thing. So I never really cared about Islam. Until I met this muslim brother in school, and he gave me all kinds of lectures and information. Mashallah! His faith pushed me to better my self and research Islam and read and understand The Holy Book The Quran. but now its a year since ive talked to the guy, Ive started involving myself in haram relationships, hanging out with the wrong crowd, looking at Haram things, et cetera.

Now I still succeed to pray all five prayers Alhamdelah, but sometimes, I purposely pray them later, very fast, I know its wrong, but it feels like I cant help myself you know? I cant even bring myself to listen to Quran.

Eventually, going down this track Im afraid I might lose Islam entirely!

So if anyone can give me advice, or a reality check, that would be very appreciated. Thank you for those who read.
