If one dies owing a debt and has rented properties and land, is it permissible to pay off the debt in installments from the rents, or is it obligatory?

Question:
I heard. The questioner says: My father passed away and he had a debt. He had properties that were rented out, and he also had agricultural land. Is it permissible to pay off the debt from the rents, even if paying off the debt in full is delayed, while having the ability to sell one of the properties and pay off the debt in full?

Answer:
If your father died owing a debt, or your brother died owing a debt, or someone like them, it is obligatory for you to hasten to pay off the debt by selling the property or part of the property until the debt is satisfied. You do not wait for the satisfaction from the rents. It is obligatory to sell something from the property until the debt is satisfied. The life of the believer is suspended by his debt until it is paid off on his behalf. So it is obligatory for the heirs to hasten to pay off the debt by selling something from the property until the debt is settled.
