The answer

The matter must be referred to the judiciary to obtain a ruling interdicting the elder son due to his imprudence, as the majority of jurists stipulate a ruling from the ruler for imposing an interdiction on an imprudent person. As for the mother directly interdicting him herself, it is permissible according to the view that validates the mother's guardianship over wealth, which is a point of contention among scholars. Regarding restricting the right to purchase a person's share of land to his family, there is no basis for it, unless they are partners in the land, in which case they have the right of pre-emption.
