The house left by the deceased is the right of all heirs. It is permissible for one of the heirs to reside in it, but if one of the heirs demands its sale due to the impossibility of dividing it, it must be sold, and its price divided among them. A gift from the father to some of the children must be verified for its legal conditions; otherwise, the property is returned to the estate. The rent of inherited shops is divided among the heirs according to Islamic law. The share of a wife who dies after her husband does not lapse with her death but transfers to her heirs. In case of dispute, the judiciary is the arbiter.
