What is the ruling regarding some heirs refusing to sell their share of the deceased father's house, while others wish to sell it to the beneficiary residing in the house?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

You may buy shares from partners who agree. As for those who do not agree, their share remains their property, because a partner is compelled to division, not sale, unless the property is indivisible, or its division would diminish its utility. In such a case, the partner who refuses to sell is compelled to do so to resolve the dispute.
