How can one deal with a father who refuses to move the palm trees from beside his son's house, knowing that the father always rejects his son's requests, and that not moving the palm trees will impede the completion of the house, and the palm trees can be moved to another spacious place?

The father is not permitted to prevent his son from disposing of his son's own farmland if such disposal is beneficial to the son, unless it causes harm to the other children, based on the Prophet’s (PBUH) saying: "There should be no harm nor reciprocal harm." However, if the land belongs to the father, the son is not allowed to uproot palm trees from it except with the permission of his father, the owner.
