Is rental income from a deceased person's land and house part of the faraid estate, and can it be used to pay land tax and basic costs before the estate is distributed?

Summary

Rental income from the land and house forms part of the faraid estate, because it is valuable property the deceased owned during his lifetime and which continued until his death. While the estate remains undivided and ownership is known only as shares, management costs such as land tax and utilities are borne jointly by the heirs, and the rental income may be used for them. Once the estate is divided and only some heirs own the property, the tax is borne by its owners alone, unless an heir voluntarily agrees to cover the costs.
