If descent from Fatima (as) is the reason why someone is considered a Syed, then why are Syed bloodlines considered to stay pure only when the father is Syed and not when the mother is Syed, regardless of whether they marry a Syed or non-Syed partner?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

1. Purity of bloodline because of the connection to Lady Fatima (AS) remains with every one who has this connection whether from his Sayyed father or Sayyedah mother.

2. There is another jurisprudence rule to define the Sayyed person who will be allowed to give his obligatory Zakat or Fitra to needy Sayyed. Most of our Maraaje' of Taqleed say that the definition of Sayyed is the person who was born from Sayyed father.
These are two different issues.

I have a toxic brother who has disrespected every member of my family multiple times including spitting on our mother. Am I allowed to cut ties with him?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Not at all. No matter how bad is your brother or relative, you should never cut ties with him but you should avoid endorsing his wrong acts.

You must keep a link with him through any suitable way of communication and keep advising and guiding him as and when you have a chance.

Is it allowed for the mother to completely cut ties and abandon her son and would it be considered Qat’a ar-Rahm? Would it also be Qat’a ar-Rahm for the son if he doesn’t want to talk to her?
Seyed Ali Shobayri

Bismillah, 

Asalamu Alaykom, 

It is not allowed for one to completely cut ties with those who it is wajib to keep ties with. Yes, one may not have a good relationship with a certain family member and may not want to see them face to face, however there are a number of actions to still keep minimum contact which would not be considered cutting them off entirely. This could be through the phone, email or messaging apps which society would consider still keeping a relationship. 

With parents one should try as much as possible to keep a good relationship and the son ignoring his mother would be doing qat al rahm. 

May Allah swt grant you success
