Is it obligatory to give the uncle the value of the inheritance difference in the disputed piece of land, knowing that the land inherited by the father contains a well, and that scholars have stated that land with a well is more valuable, and that the division between them is therefore equal?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The inherited land is divided equally between the father and the uncle, with each receiving half. However, if parts of the land vary, such as the presence of a well, an equal division is not sufficient. There must be a division that satisfies both parties, either through monetary compensation for the well, or by waiving a portion of one's share, or by adjusting the division according to value. If the father and uncle agree on a specific division, this division is binding on both parties. But if the uncle is not satisfied with the division, he has the right to demand his full share, and the solution would be to resort to the judiciary to review the validity of the previous division or to divide it anew.
