What is the ruling of Islamic law regarding a brother who delays giving his sister her rightful share of the inheritance, claiming a vision that prevents him from selling, and proposing to divide a 300-square-meter house among four heirs, three of whom reside in it?

It is advisable to refer the matter to the court to divide the house among the heirs and prevent any delay from the unjust among them, as such cases require judicial rulings. No heir has the right to procrastinate in selling an inherited house that cannot be physically divided, under the pretext of a dream he or she had.
