Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the period available for a partner or neighbor to exercise the right of pre-emption?
Answer:
There is no fixed period; it is given according to his ability. He is given a period according to what enables him to exercise the right of pre-emption. That is, if he is absent, he is given a period sufficient for the news to reach him, for him to learn of the right of pre-emption, and for him to be present for the contract. If he is present in the town, he is given a respite sufficient for the news to reach him and for him to consider whether he has an interest in this right of pre-emption or not.
