The Right of Pre-emption in Condominiums
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on selling condominiums? And does the right of pre-emption apply to them?
Answer:
To own apartments. You are the owner of the apartments. Is it permissible for the owner to sell the apartment he owns? Yes. And is it prevented that he sells it? And do you know if there is a right of pre-emption in it? I do not know how this talk is going. The right of pre-emption is not established in an apartment because it cannot be divided; an apartment cannot be divided because it is narrow. Rather, the right of pre-emption applies to what can be divided, and an apartment is not divided except by mutual agreement.
