Fatwa number ( 19868 )
Q: I have a cousin in the city of Riyadh, and he submitted the names of his relatives for housing grants in the same village where we live. Among the names was my grandfather's name, Abu my father (may Allah have mercy on him and on the deceased Muslims). My grandfather passed away before the names were announced, and the names were announced. My name matched my grandfather's name exactly. I issued the deeds for the two plots of land that were allocated by the municipality, and I followed up on them until I completed the procedures and wrote them in my name, fearing that the grant would be lost. And I, O honorable Shaykh, am a man who fears Allah, and my grandfather has heirs after him. Will the lands be mine on the basis that
The deeds are in my name, and do the heirs have a right to them? Or will I have a share of the lands? I want, O honorable Shaykh, to have a dwelling and lawful sustenance, if Allah wills? I ask your honor to issue a ruling for us.
A: The land that appeared in your grandfather’s name belongs to his heirs, unless they permit you to have it, and they are among those whose gift is valid. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
