It is forbidden to buy land if its co-owners refuse to sell their shares, as this constitutes an infringement upon their rights. However, if they are content with the sale but have not officially registered it, then purchasing is permissible under two conditions: that the lack of official authorization does not lead to harming others or fraud, and that the price comes from a permissible loan (without interest), as borrowing from usurious banks is forbidden.
