Arabic text

2491 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، وَعَمْرُو بْنُ رَافِعٍ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَالِكٍ النَّخَعِيُّ، عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ حُذَيْفَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ بَاعَ دَارًا وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ ثَمَنَهَا فِي مِثْلِهَا، لَمْ يُبَارَكْ لَهُ فِيهَا»

Commentary

Preemption has been defined as the right of one partner to buy the share of the other partner or partners. Preemption is proven in the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ and the consensus of the scholars of the Muslim nation. Jābir narrates that the Prophet ﷺ allowed the right of preemption in an undistributed property, but when the property is distributed, and the path is separate then there is no right of preemption. All the scholars agree that the right of preemption is legal. All the Islamic commands and principles have reason and wisdom behind them. Rights and duties of all Muslims as individuals and as a community have been fixed by Islamic law, so that people may live with love and harmony among themselves. Among these wise instructions is the right of preemption. If one of the two shareholders of a property wishes to sell his share, he must consult his co-shareholder about it and give him an offer to buy his share. This friendly gesture will create an atmosphere of understanding between them, and save them from unwanted conflict. If the other shareholder buys the property, well and good, otherwise it can be sold to a third party and it will be legal.'
