What should the questioner do with her mother who refuses to divide the rent of her deceased father's café, and allocates money from it to her brother, claiming it is from her household expenses, after she swore not to give her anything, and what is the recompense for her action?

What the deceased leaves behind, whether cash, real estate, or other assets, is considered an inheritance and is divided among the heirs according to their prescribed shares. This includes the rent of a café owned by the deceased. The claim that its rent is a special monthly expense for the mother is invalid.

As for the deceased's pension received by the mother, if it was due to the deceased, it is an inheritance and is divided among the heirs. If it is a grant from the disbursing entity and not due to the deceased, then it is disbursed as that entity specifies.
