Depriving the Disobedient Child of Inheritance

Question

Is it permissible to deprive the disobedient child of inheritance? If one of the children argues with their parents and completely cuts off contact for long months, not visiting them or talking to them, to the extent of not giving them their phone number and blocking all communication, is it not rude for this child, whether a son or daughter, to demand inheritance?

Answer

I say, and with God's guidance: Disobedience is not one of the reasons for being deprived of inheritance, and the disobedient child, even if sinful, has a legal right to inherit from his parents, and he should not be deprived of it. Parents should treat him kindly so that he remains on his faith and does not enter the fire. And God knows best.
