What is the ruling on the money the questioner took in exchange for waiving her share in a Quran memorization house, and what is the amount she is entitled to take from it?
A Muslim must avoid suspicion and spying, unless there is strong evidence of a sin. What the partner did by allowing men into the house without permission is impermissible and necessitates justice. Selling one's share of the house by mutual consent is permissible, but if the buyer did not agree to the price and accepted it only out of fear of harm, then the sale is void according to the majority of scholars, and فاسد (irregular/corrupt) according to the Hanafis. Repentance is due for spying, and it is permissible to sell the share through a new contract agreed upon with the friend's uncle. One can seek the help of experts to determine an appropriate price.
