It is not permissible to disinherit an heir unless there is an impediment to inheritance, such as murder, difference of religion, or slavery. As the author of al-Rahbiyyah said: "And a person is prevented from inheritance by one of three causes: slavery, murder, and difference of religion so understand, for doubt is not like certainty." As for the heir filing a lawsuit against his father or being disobedient, this is not an impediment to inheritance.
