Question:
The questioner says: A woman was deprived of her inheritance by her father, who gave everything he owned to the males only. Is she sinful, or is she a sinner, if she does not forgive her father, or

Answer:
She has to go to the Shari'ah court and report this bad conduct to the judge. The judge will summon him and apply the necessary ruling, because this is an injustice in dealing with inheritance, and this is not permissible and is contrary to the ruling of Allah the Exalted. Allah has assigned inheritance to women; women have a share
of what the parents and close relatives leave, and for women is a share of what the parents and close relatives leave, be it little or much - an obligatory share.مِّمَّا تَرَكَ الْوَالِدَانِ وَالْأَقْرَبُونَ وَلِلنِّسَاءِ نَصِيبٌ مِّمَّا تَرَكَ الْوَالِدَانِ وَالْأَقْرَبُونَ مِمَّا قَلَّ مِنْهُ أَوْ كَثُرَ نَصِيبًا مَّفْرُوضًا
[An-Nisa 4:7]

Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two femalesيُوصِيكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي أَوْلَادِكُمْ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الْأُنثَيَيْنِ
[An-Nisa 4:11]
. A woman inherits whether she is a wife, a mother, a daughter, or a sister. Allah has assigned her inheritance, so it is not permissible for anyone to deprive her of the inheritance that Allah has assigned for her. She has to go to the court, and the court will summon this man and apply the ruling of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Yes.
