A man bequeathed the inheritance to the men and not the women; what is the ruling?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: My mother (may Allah have mercy on her) was deprived of her inheritance from her father along with her sisters on the grounds that her brothers claimed their father had bequeathed the inheritance to the men only, excluding the women. Is this a religiously valid matter?

Answer:
I do not know about looking into this specific case, but the rule is that this is an objection to the ruling of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
Allah will deprive him of his inheritance from Paradise,حرمه الله من ميراثه من الجنة،
Therefore, it is not permissible to deprive the heirs of their shares.
