This is strategic btw, young men talk this way so that they can justify behaving this way in the future. When you normalize and undermine the injustice, it will continue and that’s why Somalis have very high rates of dead beat fathers. This has been systematically deemed acceptable.
I get that Islamically there should be a modicum of respect for the simple fact that he is her biological father, but this man is clearly sniffing for money and she would be well within her rights to respectfully shut this down.
I literally know friends who were in that exact position and were then emotionally blackmailed by their sperm donors. Some even mentally abused their mothers flaunting their preference for second wife and abandoning them as well which will obviously inflict trauma and deep disappointment whilst simultaneously being expected to fund the siblings of the second wife whom they were spurned for.
OP, pick up his calls, listen to his drivel for the sake of Allah but don’t ever send him money. Simply politely talk to him and if he presses, politely remind him that he has shirked on his duties. As a girl, he should be providing for you, you’re still under his wing since you’re unmarried, but due to some Somali men being effeminate they will still stick out their hands to ask their daughters for a pay off.
Let's establish facts.
1. According to her own story which I read carefully he NEVER actually asked her for money, she is just making the presumption he will, and this is a theme in her post, assuming the very worst.
2. We only have one side of the story and not the other, reminds me of the incident Dawud in the Qur'an, when you hear something so proposterous, it's natural for us to quickly rush to judgement, but Allah warns us about this as it's so common.
I have encountered these types of stories a thousand times, and every time that girl goes on to either marry a deadbeat herself or more often then not a decent guy she divorces on a whim and then severes the ties of the Father to the kids, while playing victim, something they claim their own mothers didn't do.
This is classic inkaar walid, in our tradition the curse of the Father is seen in this world, and it usually manifest itself in your marriage, and only then she will learn her lessons but most of them don't as they have ZERO discernment or spiritual awareness.
I genuine feel bad for her, but not in the superficial misguided way most people on here do, it's for her future, because I have seen this playbook many times and the dark places it leads to.
What happened to Nabi Yusuf is far worse then her story, he ended up not only forgiving his brothers but also handing them sustenance despite their heinous plot to kill him, they attested to his superiority and he became their ruler.
Even the infidels understand this concept, let her go to any therapist and they will teach her that forgiveness benefits her not him, and that pain is just weakness leaving the body.
The correct way to act if we assume the story is 100% factual is simple, it happened because it's Allah's Qadr, so I have to be satisfied with it, and understand that there is a greater wisdom at play that I will come to learn off if I am patient, like Yusuf and his Father were.
Once that is established, forgiveness, forging relationship and even financial support are easy things, your doing so to please Allah, and it's a sign of your superiority over him and his abject humiliation that will eat away at him.
That's how this generational curse is broken, it will positively impact her ability to form a healthy toxic free relationship, raise great children and it will be a means of her ascension in this life & next rather than descension or stagnation trajectory.
This is a script that everyone enjoys which inspires like the Yusuf story, unlike the current script which is no different to the millions online seeking just sympathy and pity.
