What should one do if he has an undutiful brother and his father forbids him from maintaining ties with him?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: My brother (may Allah guide him) is undutiful to my father, and my father forbids me from maintaining ties with my brother. How should I act?

Answer:
Act by giving advice to your brother and making reconciliation between him and his father. Do not cut off ties with your brother, even if your father tells you not to contact him. This is a sin, and there is no obedience to a created being in the disobedience of the Creator. Cutting off a close relative is a sin, but you must strive for reconciliation between them, making peace between them and giving them advice.
