What is the ruling on the action of a brother who borrowed money from his sister to buy a house, and wrote her a trust deed for a quarter of the house in case he died before repaying the debt or returning the money during his lifetime, and when he wanted to repay the debt after ten years, his sister demanded the current price of a quarter of the house? And is his action permissible or forbidden as long as it was with her consent?
