What should a 60-year-old man do, whose income is limited, who has a family and children, and who cannot claim his right to his father's inheritance from his mother and sisters who live in his father's house and refuse his return to live in it, while selling the house would solve his financial problems, but he cannot confront his mother even by bringing up the subject?

You have the right to claim your share of your father's inheritance due to your need for it. This is not disobedience to your mother, and she does not have the right to prevent you from disposing of your share. If you fear her anger, seek the help of some relatives to speak with her, and continue to show her dutifulness and kindness.
