Abstract

Pre-emption right means that if one of the two partners sells his immovable share to a third party, the other partner has the right to take it into his property by paying the same price as the customer paid, given the circumstances. Pre-emption right goes for possessions, so it can be inherited like any other property, to which the generality of the verses of inheritance, the narrations that have absolutely included the rights in inheritance and other similar reasons refer. Among the Sunni jurists, the Maleki and Shafei scholars and the people of Hejaz consider pre-emption to be hereditary and believe that it is inherited like other financial rights; of course, the opposite statement exists both among Imami and Sunni jurists. According to the results of the present study, which is done by using descriptive-analytical method in the form of library research, the pre-emption right is not subordinate to what it goes for, but it is an independent financial right and, like other inherited property, is inherited independently. In order to prove this, in addition to the generality of the evidence, the ruling in relation to the inheritance of the right of choice and primogeniture can also be invoked. Regarding the division of the pre-emptive property, some have commented based on the shares and some based on the equality between the heirs.
