Question:
He says: My son is twenty-seven years old. He commits sins, treats the forbidden as permissible and the permissible as forbidden. I advised him, hit him, and threatened to evict him from the house, but to no avail. I have failed in all of this. He is an employee who receives a good salary. Is it permissible for me to deprive him of his inheritance? He also does not pray.
Answer:
Allah has deprived him of the inheritance. If he persists in this, he is an apostate, and an apostate does not inherit and is not inherited from, except if he repents to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). So he has no inheritance as long as he remains in this state.
