Question: He says after the death of my father, there ensued a financial disagreement between me and my brother; and this disagreement has [now] continued [between us] for [many] years.
So, I sought refuge [in Allaah] from Shaytaan the accursed, and began to telephone him and show kindness to him, but he does not reciprocate.
I [also] began to visit him with my children to initiate an air of politeness [between us], but he does not let us in[to his house].
So what should my position [now] be [towards my brother], as I feel pain [at our deteriorating state of affairs] O noble Shaykh, as my father and mother have [both] passed away?
Response: You have fulfilled that which was obligatory upon you to do, and he is sinful in [continuing to maintain] this boycott of you.
So continue to fulfill your obligation [towards him], and [continue to] telephone him, and visit him; and if he was to respond to you in kind [then that which was desired has been achieved], otherwise the sin shall be upon him [for continuing to boycott you].
