The ruling on a woman settling for her share in an inheritance when it is unknown

The Shaykh : However, regarding his statement that if she settles for her price, it is not valid, this is not correct. It should be said that this is permissible only if the estate requires a long time to be liquidated and divided, and she requests that they give her whatever is available so that she can benefit from it. In that case, there is no harm. The correct ruling is that it is permissible for her to settle for her share if there is a need for it. The method for this, as I mentioned to you just now, is that the estate requires a long time to be liquidated and cleared, so she says, “I am settling with you regarding my right in it,” and she takes what was agreed upon in the settlement and leaves. There is no harm in this, and there is no danger in it.
