What is the ruling on selling a property (died 2123m, two floors) left by the father and distributing its price among the heirs (3 males and 5 females), given their disagreement over its division due to some wishing to divide each floor independently, and is any heir entitled to object to the sale of the property?
To divide the inheritance, the wife receives one-eighth (11 shares). The remainder is divided among the children, with the male receiving the equivalent of two females' shares, such that the son receives 14 shares and the daughter receives 7 shares out of a total of 88 shares. The property may not be divided if it would cause harm to any of the heirs or require compensation, unless all heirs agree. Otherwise, the solution is to sell it and divide the proceeds among the heirs according to their shares. Everyone is compelled to sell if one of the heirs requests it.
