What should a person do, 48 years old, who lived in Saudi Arabia for 13 years, after his family took his money, caused his divorce from his first wife, almost caused the divorce of his second, seized his apartment and half of his furniture, gave it to his brother and his wife, expelled him from his home, fought him by all possible means, deny bearing the expenses of his sister's marriage, and now want to reconcile after they sowed hatred among all siblings, while he feels resentment towards them and has a daughter they have not met?
The parents' appropriation of their son's money, giving it to his siblings, and causing his wife's divorce is an injustice and a wrongdoing. Nevertheless, the parents' right to dutifulness (birr) does not fall, and it is not permissible to abandon them or mistreat them, as abandonment is a great sin and a grave offense. You must repent and return to your parents immediately, apologize to them, and strive to please them, and maintain ties with your siblings to the extent that it does not harm your faith or your worldly life. Forgiving the one who wrongs you is among the best deeds, through which a servant attains Allah's pardon and forgiveness, and it increases him in honor and dignity.
