Affinity and discarding disagreement between brothers

A: Disputes between brothers should not develop into disowning and separation like that. It is obligatory to maintain harmony and avoid feud and hatred. The words mentioned in the question are evil and the sayer must repent to Allah of them. Allah (may He be glorified) says, And all of you beg Allâh to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful Q 6,7: A man complains that his step-mother insults his wife and he wants to prevent her from entering his house. Will he remain undutiful to his father if he does so? He no longer visits his father because his brothers harm and threaten him. Is he permitted to do so? It should be noted that his father cannot stop them and even ordered him to repay their offences and insults. What is the ruling on the father's stance? A: We advise those in the question to maintain unity, reconciliation and patience over the harm they receive. If they fail, everyone should take the necessary procedures to fend off harm from themselves while still being dutiful to their parents and avoiding severing relations with them. This is how a Muslim should be; wise and have self-controlled. (Part No. 25; Page No. 332) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
