Question:
There is a delay in dividing the inheritance. What is the ruling on one who does this? Also, we ask for your advice, because some of my brothers delayed for a long time in dividing the inheritance after my father’s death.
Answer:
This depends on the circumstances and conditions. If there is no obstacle to dividing the inheritance and no circumstances that necessitate delaying the division, then it is obligatory to hasten to divide the inheritance and give every right-holder his right so that he may benefit from it. Yes.
