The ruse to reach the forbidden makes it more forbidden

A man said to one of his acquaintances: I want to sell you this farm, and then you sell it to my eldest son so that he can bring in workers. When this intermediary did this, it became clear to him that this relative intended to give this farm away without including his other sons.Meaning: He resorted to a ruse against him. What is the ruling on this intermediary, knowing that he has an interest with this man?
It is not permissible for a person, if he knows that someone is reaching a forbidden matter through a transaction with him, to transact with him; because if he transacts with him, it falls under the category of cooperating in sin and aggression, which Allah has forbidden. But why does this man not have the courage to sell it directly to his son without an intermediary? If he sells it to his son at the market price, there is nothing wrong with that, even if it is to the exclusion of his other sons.For example: If a person has a car and multiple sons, and he wants to sell the car to one of the sons at its market price, there is nothing wrong with that.
As for a nominal sale, it is not permissible; because the ruse to reach the forbidden makes the forbidden matter more sinful.
As for the intermediary, he must repent to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and he should advise the man who asked him to be an intermediary and warn him of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
