If the four brothers are the sons of the deceased, then the house, including its storeroom and courtyard, belongs to all the heirs, and each of them has an undivided share in it according to their legal portion of the inheritance. It is permissible for a partner to utilize the common areas in a customary way that does not harm the other partners. In a shared house, each partner is allowed to do what is necessary for dwelling. Raising sheep in the house is not among the necessities of dwelling and causes harm to the partners. If one of the partners refuses to live in the shared house and demands rotation or rental, the others are compelled to agree.
