AL-KAFI #595 : ADAKAH TANAH YANG PERNAH DICAGAR PERLU DIFARAID?
Does land that was once pledged and later redeemed by relatives have to be distributed under faraid when its owner dies?
Short answer
A pledge of land is governed by the rules of al-rahn. Once the debt has been settled, whether by the debtor or by someone else, the pledged item must be returned to its original owner.

Summary
A pledge of land is governed by the rules of al-rahn. Once the debt has been settled, whether by the debtor or by someone else, the pledged item must be returned to its original owner. If the owner dies after the land is returned, it must be distributed under faraid because it forms part of the property and rights left by the deceased.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, harta gadaian yang telah ditebus hutangnya, meskipun oleh orang lain, perlulah dikembalikan kepada pemilik asalnya. Jika pemilik asal meninggal dunia, maka hendaklah dia difaraidkan.
