The relationship between family members should be based on affection and love. The sister erred by seeking to stir up hatred, yet it is advised to be patient, forgiving, and to strive for reconciliation. The father's status is great, and honoring him is obligatory, even if he mistreats. A father's assistance to his son in marriage or writing over the apartment to his daughters is a gift, not an inheritance. A father's gift to one of his children without a legitimate reason is void, and if the children acquire it, you have the right to resort to the judiciary while maintaining respect for your father.
