The Heirs’ Agreement Not to Divide the Estate

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible for the heirs to agree not to divide the estate and to leave the money as it is, because it yields them an annual income?

Answer:
If they agree to this, it is their right. But if they do not agree, no; the one who demands his right is given his right.
