Question
Among the heirs inheriting a property is the mother of the inheriting children. The heirs are all adults. The property is very valuable and all the heirs want to sell and get their respective shares. However, their mother refuses to vacate the premises. In so doing, she is preventing all the heirs from their rightful shares. She insists to live in the property although the children are making available a comfortable house for her. In these circumstances is it permissible to legally evict the mother?
Answer
The very idea of children evicting their mother from the house is satanically callous. Regardless of her injustice for which she will have to answer to Allah Ta'ala, it is haraam for the children to evict their mother. Are they her children or are they dogs which have no recognition of their parents. Every Muslim knows that Jannat lies under the feet of one's mother. But for people nowadays the carrion crumbs of this dunya have greater importance than Jannat. That is because the Deen is a hobby for them. Never ever can a child fulfil the rights of his / her mother even if he/she slaves for her his / her entire life. It is haraam to evict the mother.
