The Ruling on Refusing to Divide the Inheritance

Question:
Abu Mish'al from Abha is with us on the line. Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. And upon you be peace, and Allah's mercy and blessings. Your Eminence the Shaykh, may Allah reward you. My question has two parts, may Allah be pleased with you. What is the ruling on demanding what a grandfather or grandmother inherited as a legal inheritance, when some people try to withhold it and consume it unjustly? It is not hidden from Your Eminence the extent to which the deceased needs dutifulness from those after him, in the form of ongoing charity or a charitable deed whose benefit reaches him? This is the first part. Now, the Shaykh will answer.

Answer:
My brother, if the one who refuses, or if someone prevents the division of the inheritance for no valid legal excuse, then the case is referred to the judge, and a lawsuit is filed against him so that the judge can compel him to distribute the inheritance, or the judge distributes it based on his judgment, so that the heirs are not harmed. Because this is their right, the judge must intervene in this matter, prevent the stubbornness of the stubborn one, and deliver the rights to their rightful owners. Yes.
