This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, the dispute between a brother and his brother over financial matters has lasted for years, and reconciliation has not been achieved between the two brothers. What do you advise them?

We advise them to fear Allah (Mighty and Majestic), to reconcile what is between them, and to maintain communication with one another. He, Glorified and Exalted is He, said:[Al-Anfal 8:1] Therefore, it is not permissible to sever ties. It is not permissible for a Muslim, in the hadith: Sahih Muslim 2560a Yes.

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَصْلِحُوا ذَاتَ بَيْنِكُمْ وَأَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُIt is not permissible for a Muslim to have estranged relations with his brother beyond three nights, the one turning one way and the other turning the other way when they meet; the better of the two is one who is the first to give a greeting.
لا يحل لمسلم أن يهجر أخاه فوق ثلاث يلتقيان فيعرض هذا ويعرض هذا وخيرهما الذي يبدأ بالسلام.
