Is it permissible to cut ties with my auntie and her husband and kids for stealing from our inheritance?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

No. It is not permissible to cut ties with any relative, no matter what wrong they did to you. Cutting ties with any relative is a major sin which can never be justified.

If they did wrong to you, you should leave them to Allah Who is The Absolute Just, but you should never commit the major sin of cutting ties with any of your relatives.

Do the Imams inherit the knowledge of the Prophets? If they do then how is the status of the Prophets higher than the Imams?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

The Twelve Infallible Imams from Ahlul Bayt (AS) did inherit the knowledge of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA). That is why, their status is from his status as Allah says in Quran ذُرِّيّةً بَعْضُها مِن بَعض A Progeny (of the Prophet) which part from him. Their status is higher than everyone except the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) who is The Highest over all creatures.

One of my paternal aunts had died before her parents. Does she have the right to share in the parents' property or not, as the parents themselves had never announced a share for their deceased daughter or her children?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

No share for the deceased son or daughter nor to their children after them as far as they died before their parents. When a person dies leaving his own children, and grandchildren, direct children only have the right to inherit from him as far as they were alive when the parent died. Those who died before their parents have no right in inheritance unless all the children have dies before their parents, then their children will inherit from their grand parents because no direct son or daughter are alive.

Who inherits the property of a father who dies with two daughters and no son? Do the male relatives, such as the deceased's brothers and nephews, get the inheritance instead of his own daughters?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

No one has any right in inheriting from this man but his own two daughters and his wife if she was alive when he passed away. Wife should  get one eighth and rest should be equally divided between the two daughters. If no wife was alive when he passed away, then all the property and wealth should be dived equally between his two daughters only. No one else from the relatives is entitled for any inheritance from him. This is according to Ahlul Bayt (AS) who have the real teachings of the Prophet (SAWA). Sunni brothers have something different which prevents the daughters and give to other male relatives, which is away from Quran and Real Sunnah.
