Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. Is it permissible for the eldest brother to deprive his ten brothers of their inheritance from their father’s large house and give it only to the youngest brother, on the grounds that the doctor warns him that he will lose his hearing after five years? It is known that this brother is in the prime of his youth, works here in the Kingdom, and his salary helps him build his future and get married? May Allah reward you with good. This is an injustice.

Answer:
It is a usurpation. It is not permissible to deprive the heirs of their inheritance and give it to their younger brother except with their consent. If they consent and donate it to their younger brother, praise be to Allah, and they will have a reward for that. But if they do not consent and do not allow it, it is not permissible to take their inheritances or their inheritance and give it to this young one, or this one, or this afflicted one, as the questioner mentioned, except with their consent and choice. If this person wants to benefit his brother, let him benefit him from his own money, and he must not force his brothers to take his money from them.
