What is the ruling on willing the sale of a house to pay off a debt to her daughter, giving half of it to her, a quarter to the husband, a third to the parents, and a third for the sake of Allah? Is it obligatory to sell the house if the daughter waives her debt and does not wish to sell? How can one give out the third for the sake of Allah without selling the house, and is it permissible to give it from the apartments? Is it true that the house cannot be sold without the daughter's consent if the parents wish to sell?

Acknowledgment of a debt to a daughter is valid if it occurs during a non-fatal illness. However, if it occurs during a fatal illness, it is not considered valid unless there is proof or the heirs confirm it. The debt must be paid before the division of the inheritance, based on the verse: {after any bequest she may have made or any debt}. The daughter is permitted to waive her debt if she is an adult of sound judgment.

As for a bequest of one-third for the sake of Allah, it is obligatory to execute and takes precedence over the rights of the heirs. "For the sake of Allah" (fi sabilillah) is disbursed for jihad according to the Shafi'is, Hanbalis, and Abu Yusuf, and for Hajj according to Muhammad ibn al-Hasan and in one opinion of the Hanbalis. The one-third bequeathed includes the entire estate, including the house. If the house cannot be divided after the one-third is extracted, and one of the heirs demands its sale, the remaining heirs are compelled to sell.

The inheritance is divided after the payment of debts and the execution of bequests. If the deceased left behind only her daughter, husband, mother, and father: the daughter receives one-half, the husband one-fourth, and each of the parents one-sixth. The issue would then be out of thirteen shares.
