Abstract

Courts hear many lawsuits related to indivisible inheritance, or whose distribution harms the heirs’ benefit. Such heirs’ viewpoints may vary from accepting their share, even if it is impossible to benefit from, and refusing it by demanding to sell the entire inheritance and thus distributing it financially. All of this has a set of important Islamic rulings and regulations.
Courts of KSA (the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) have distinguished procedures towards inheritance. These procedures achieve justice for every heir and maintains his right. Furthermore, KSA courts have good experience in handling indivisible inheritance cases.
The research objectives are:
1-           Achieving justice in distributing inheritance and establishing good relations and kinship ties between heirs.
2-           Developing a number of rulings related to practically indivisible inheritance and demonstrating them in an academic study.
3-           Proving the ability of Sharīʿah (Islamic Law) to find appropriate solutions to people’s contemporary issues in their daily lives.
This research concluded a set of important and relevant proposals which will be cited at the end.
