[Avodah] how to fix a mamzer

[Eli Turkel via Avodah]

In continuation of the topic of kibud av ve-em

from yevamot 22b that there is ni issur to curse a wicked father
rambam hilchot mamrim explains that this applies only the punishment
the Tur disagrees and says that one must honor a wicked father only if he
does teshuva
others distinguish and say that one must honor a wicked father only while
he is alive

see YD 240 where it is a disagreement between the mechaber and Ramah. The
Ramah paskens like the Tur, Mordechai, Rabbenu Tam and Haghaos Mordechai
that one need honor a wicked father only if he does teshuva

R Zilberstein brings the Zecher Shlomo (Lech Lecha) and the Chida (Devash
Le-phi 1:39) that therefore Avraham owed no honor to his father Terach once
Terach handed him over to Nimrod.

R Zilberstein further brought the Maharam Shick that one who is involved
(metapel) in a mitzvah is the owner of the mitzvah and whoever works and
establishes a mitzvah is the one to make the arrangements. Thus the one who
actively rears the child is the "owner" of the child and gets to make the
decisions and not the biological parent who is not around.
