Summary
Children remain obliged to treat their parents well, and in principle they must try to advise parents who often quarrel in a gentle manner without being disobedient to them. This accords with the duty to correct wrongdoing according to one's ability and with proper methods. Children are advised to be patient, pray for their parents to have gentle and united hearts, keep reminding them kindly without giving up, set a good example at home, and seek help from people whom the parents respect.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
