Question:
Also, among her questions, she says: My husband’s estate has not been divided since his death, and this has continued for several years. Is this permissible in Islamic law?
Answer:
If the heirs are content with delaying the division, there is no objection; this is their right. However, if they or some of them demand the division and it is possible, then it is obligatory to do so in order to give those with rights their rights. If there is resistance, then the court is the solution; take it to the court and it will resolve the problem. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
