Funds paid to his father for work he did in France

Fatwa number ( 21534 )
Q: My father worked in France for four or five years, then returned to Morocco. After several years, they began sending him his pension. After his death,
the pension was transferred to my mother, who asked all my brothers to sign a document related to the pension. When I refused, she became very angry with me. I consider every centime above the amount deducted from my father’s salary during his years of work to be forbidden, so I signed the document to please her. Once all the brothers had signed, the pension began to be received through one of the banks. Was I wrong to sign that document, and is the pension salary forbidden, especially the amounts exceeding the deduction that was applied to my father’s salary during his years of work?
A: If the amounts mentioned are a right due to your father for his permissible work, then you inherit them from him after his death, and they are your right. If they are in exchange for forbidden work, they are forbidden for him and for you, and it is not permissible for you to take them. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
