Resolution No.(67): "Ruling on Dividing Land in Accordance with Tameem Ad-Dari`s Endowment"

Date: 23/5/1424 AH corresponding to 23/7/2003 AD.

 

The Board received the following question:

How to divide an inherited plot of land {Waqf Tameem Ad-Dari type} amongst eligible heirs, taking into consideration that it is located within the borders of Al-Khalil Municipality. Is it possible to divide it according to Sharia, or the Ottoman Land Code?

Answer: All success is due to Allah.

After deliberation, the Board is of the view that the revenue of the aforementioned plot and the structure on it is to be divided according to Sharia, and not the Ottoman Land Code. This is because it isn`t a miri land stated in the Ottoman Land Code, rather, it is registered as an endowment of Tameem Ad-Dari`s type, located within the borders of Al-Khalil Municipality. And Allah Knows Best.

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
