All co-owners have equal ownership to the property.It is not a separable ownership but carries a joint possession and the shareholders\/co-owners act on mutual decision. Any transactions regarding the property, a consent from all co-owners is needed.\u00a0 One of the features of this type of ownership is that; if any of joint tenants dies his\/her portions is automatically transferred to the surviving co-owners. This however goes against the Islamic laws of succession and Inheritance. In Islam the estate of the deceased is transferred to the heirs and they are the rightful owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>As for Tenancy in Common, co-owners may have unequal proportions of ownership of the property. A co-owner may unilaterally sell or gift his\/her portion of the property. Also, if a co-owner dies, his portions is passed on to his heirs and beneficiaries i.e. it constitutes his estate. This type of ownership is in line with the laws of Shariah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Nb: Joint Tenancy, it can be changed into Tenancy in Common, you may need to consult a lawyer for details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Nb:If a person having Joint Tenancy in a property dies, it would not be permissible for the other co-owners to take possession of his portion of the property. Rather it must be passed on to the heirs of the deceased co-owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>And Allah Ta\u2019\u0101la Knows Best<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mufti Kaleem Muhammad<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Darul Iftaa, Jaamia Madinatul Uloom (Trinidad)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fatwa-tt.com\"><strong>www.fatwa-tt.com<\/strong><\/a><strong> \/<\/strong><a href=\"file:\/\/\/C:\\Users\\arsha_000\\Desktop\\www.jaamia.net\"><strong>www.jaamia.net<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question: Assalaamu Alaikum Mufti SahibI need a favor from you pleaseCould you investigate for me the permissibility of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2354,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2852","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-contemporary-law","category-social-issues"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fatwa-tt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2852","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fatwa-tt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fatwa-tt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fatwa-tt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fatwa-tt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2852"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fatwa-tt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2852\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fatwa-tt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2354"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fatwa-tt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fatwa-tt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2852"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fatwa-tt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
