How should compensation for an inherited house be divided between the heirs and the occupants of the house?
Short answer
The house site was ruled to belong to Saad because it lies on land allocated to him under the division agreed by Saad and Ishak.

Summary
The house site was ruled to belong to Saad because it lies on land allocated to him under the division agreed by Saad and Ishak. The house itself is treated as inherited property of Saad and Ishak, so the RM14,000 compensation is split half to Saad's heirs and half to Ishak's heirs, with each share distributed among heirs by faraid. Compensation claims by two people who lived in the house free of charge were rejected as unreasonable.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru bayaran pampasan ke atas rumah yang bernilai RM14,000.00 perlu dibahagi 1/2 kepada warts Saad dan 1/2 kepada warta Ishak.
