Q: In order to please their mother, my brother and sisters are taking good care of our half-brother, whom they prefer over our father. Noticing that I was trying to set things aright between our parents, they began to sever our ties which I still insist on maintaining. In addition, my father refuses to mix our wealth with that of our half-brother, lest it could create problems in the future.Now my seventy-year-old father lives on his own. He does the cooking and cleaning himself. I am forty years old and the eldest of his sons, and I am married with four sons and five daughters. I asked him many times to come and live with me, but he gives the excuse that living conditions in The Eastern Province do not agree with him, as he lives in Najran. I have been working at the University of Petroleum and Minerals in Al-Zhahran for thirteen years. I hope Your Honor will give me your opinion regarding this problem. Should I leave my elderly father to live on his own with no one to take care of him?
