The Shari'ah has given your father the right to file a pre-emption (shufa'ah) lawsuit regarding the land. This is a right established by the Shari'ah, whereby a first partner acquires what his co-partner sold to another. Scholars have defined pre-emption as: "A partner taking what his co-partner sold, at the price, compulsorily upon him." The court ruled in your father's favor, granting him what was rightfully his, and it has now reached you through a lawful means, which is inheritance.
