The answer

It is permissible for an heir to take their share of a real estate inheritance in cash. Their share then belongs to whoever paid them the cash and purchased it from them, whether the buyer is among the heirs or not. If the mother takes her share in cash, she no longer has ownership rights in the house. However, she may reside in it if the remaining heirs agree and permit it, because "none of the heirs has the right to reside in the deceased's house after their death, except with the permission of their heirs; for it has transferred from the ownership of the deceased to the ownership of the heirs."
