Are the deeds of the deceased presented to God, or are they delayed until reconciliation is achieved between him and his sister, with whom he had a dispute, especially since his daughters do not wish to reconcile with her?
Islamic law prohibits backbiting, abandonment, and severing ties of kinship, considering them major sins. The deceased is bound by his deeds, and he does not bear the sin of his children abandoning their aunt unless he played a role in it, for the fundamental principle is that no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. The children should maintain ties with their aunt as an act of piety towards their father. To strive for reconciliation, clarify to them the obligation of maintaining kinship ties, the prohibition of severing them, and the virtue of forgiveness. Speak with each of them in a way that fosters affection, for he who reconciles people is not a liar. Striving for reconciliation between disputing parties is among the best of deeds.
