Will I bear the sin of cutting off kin if God takes my soul while I am in this situation, and what is your opinion on my predicament, and what do you advise me, knowing that my relatives and brother are hostile towards me and threaten me because of the inheritance, and accuse me falsely?
The brother is not allowed to prevent the heirs from registering their right in the real estate registry or from dividing the property. The property must be divided upon the request of one of the heirs if that is possible without harm; otherwise, the property should be sold and its price divided. The heirs have the right to file a lawsuit in court to reclaim their right and to prevent him from threatening them.
A wicked person is not fit to be a guardian over a minor or a disabled person, nor is a disbeliever. If the father does not appoint a guardian, the ruler appoints a suitable guardian.
It is recommended to be patient with relatives even if they cause harm, for patience with the harm of kinship is among the best forms of patience. Harm from relatives does not negate the obligation of maintaining kinship ties, but it may waive forms of connection that cause harm, while other forms remain, such as greeting, offering help, and supplicating. For the one who maintains ties is not he who reciprocates, but rather he who connects with his kin when they cut him off.
