The answer

If a father permits his son to build on his land without explicitly declaring it a gift, it is considered a loan (عاريَّة) that terminates upon the father's death. If the period between the construction and the father's death is short, the loan continues for the duration customarily recognized. The building son is entitled to the value of his construction, whether demolished or standing, from the remaining heirs. If the heirs agree upon a specific method of utilization, the matter is up to them.
