Is it permissible for the inheritor to write over the house to his male son in exchange for giving a compensation from the agricultural lands to the rest of the female heirs, fearing the division of the house and its being counted as part of the son's inheritance, or is it permissible to gift the house to the son, or is none of that permissible?
If the registration of the dwelling for the son is a will that takes effect after death, then it is a bequest to an heir, which is Islamically prohibited unless the other heirs consent. This prohibition is closer to being haram (forbidden). However, if it is a gift during lifetime, then the donor must be fair among all the children, due to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saying: "Fear Allah and be just among your children." So, if he gifts the dwelling to the son and gifts to the rest of the children what is equivalent to it, then there is no objection.
