Is the area of the streets counted when dividing the legal inheritance, or only the area of the building?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the road is part of the deceased's land, it is included in the inheritance as part of the estate, unless the deceased had endowed it for passage. An endowment is not inherited, and one must ascertain the explicit intention of endowment or an action indicating it. It is advisable to consult scholars regarding this.
