Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Our father passed away and left us an inheritance, and our mother is still alive with us. We have not divided the estate yet; rather, we have left things as they are. Are we sinful for not dividing it? If the heirs are adults and they agree to delay the division.
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. However, if there are minors or needy people among the heirs, it is not permissible to delay the division, because that involves deceiving them. Yes.
