The Ruling on Selling Apartments to Children Without Inheritance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner, Muhammad from Egypt, says: My father has married off all his sons and daughters, and praise be to Allah. We, the males, live in our father's house, each in an apartment, and the daughters live in their husbands' houses. We, the males, want our father to write us deeds of sale for the apartments so that they are not included in the inheritance. Is that permissible for us?
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible for you to do so unless you pay the price for them, or the father gives them to you of his own free will. Yes.
The questioner:
In Egypt, it is common for the land to belong to the father and the construction of the apartment to belong to the children?
The Shaykh:
The rubble, I mean, the rubble belongs to one person and the land to another, so each person disposes of what he owns. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
