The Ruling on Expropriation of Property for the Public Interest with Compensation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, regarding the expropriation of property for the public interest, if the owner is not satisfied with the compensation because it is small, is that considered usurpation or not?
Answer:
If he is given the fair market value and he does not accept it, he has no right to refuse, because public interests take precedence over individual interests. If he is given the fair market value for his land or his house, without any bias, then he has been compensated. If he refuses, his refusal is without right; his refusal is unjustified. Yes.
