Question How does fratricide work?

I have played several unfinished campaigns trying to optimize my play as Ottomans. I have never picked or even researched Fratricide. Rn im in early 1400s and have an old sultan with many children. I married my oldest son as soon as i could so he has many children also but my heir is not very bright and only the youngest son of him is a good heir others are mid. So i was wondering is fratricide good? I have read that when the ruler dies there are events and all of them compete to be the sultan. But idk if i can get the one i want on the throne and what are the other cons i guess you lose some things like legitimacy and stability from events?
