Book of Preemption (al-Shuf'a)
It is the right of a partner to seize the share of his partner that has been transferred from him, from the hand of the person to whom it was transferred. It is established by the Sunnah and consensus (ijma'). As for the Sunnah, it is what Jabir—may Allah be pleased with him—narrated, saying: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) decreed preemption in matters that have not been divided. When the boundaries are set and the paths are laid out, there is no preemption. It is unanimously agreed upon. In [the Sahih of] Muslim, he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) decreed preemption in every partnership that has not been divided, whether it is a house (rab'a) or a garden (ha'it). It is not lawful for him to sell until he seeks the permission of his partner. If he wishes, he takes it, and if he wishes, he leaves it. If he sells without seeking his permission, he [the partner] has a greater right to it. In [the Sahih of] al-Bukhari: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) only granted preemption in what has not been divided; when the boundaries are set and the paths are laid out, there is no preemption. As for the consensus, Ibn al-Mundhir said: The scholars have reached a consensus on establishing the right of preemption for the partner who has not yet divided [the property], regarding land, a house, or a garden that is sold. The rationale for this is that when one of two partners intends to sell his share, and he is able to sell it to his partner and liberate him from what he is facing regarding the expectation

كتابُ الشُّفْعَةِ
وهى اسْتِحْقَاقُ الشَّرِيكِ انْتِزَاعَ حِصَّةِ شَرِيكِه المُنْتَقِلَةِ عنه مِن يَدِ مَن انْتَقَلَتْ إليه. وهى ثابِتَةٌ بالسُّنَّةِ والإِجْمَاعِ؛ أمَّا السُّنَّةُ، فما رَوَى (١) جابِرٌ رَضِىَ اللهُ عنه، قال: قَضَى رسولُ اللَّه -صلى اللَّه عليه وسلم- بالشُّفْعَةِ فيما لم يُقْسَمْ، فإذا وَقَعَتِ الحُدُودُ، وصُرِّفَتِ الطُّرُقُ، فلا شُفْعَةَ. مُتَّفَقٌ عليه (٢). ولِمُسْلَمٍ قال: قَضَى رسولُ اللَّه -صلى اللَّه عليه وسلم- بالشُّفْعَةِ في كلِّ شِرْكٍ لم يُقْسَمْ؛ رَبْعَةٍ (٣)، أو حائِطٍ، لا يَحِلُّ له أن يَبِيعَ حتى يَسْتَأْذِنَ شَرِيكَهُ. فإن شَاءَ أخَذَ، وإن شَاءَ تَرَكَ، فإن باعَ ولم يَسْتَأْذِنْهُ فهو أحَقُّ به. ولِلْبُخَارِيِّ: إنَّما جَعَلَ رسولُ اللهِ -صلى اللَّه عليه وسلم- الشُّفْعَةَ فيما لم يُقْسَمْ، فإذا وَقَعَتِ الحُدُودُ، وصُرِّفَتِ الطُّرُقُ، فلا شُفْعَةَ. وأمَّا الإِجْمَاعُ، فقال ابنُ المُنْذِرِ: أجْمَعَ أهْلُ العِلْمِ على إِثْباتِ الشُّفْعَةِ لِلشَّرِيكِ الذي لم يُقَاسِمْ، فيما بِيعَ من أَرْضٍ أو دَارٍ أو حائِطٍ. والمَعْنَى في ذلك أنَّ أحَدَ الشَّرِيكَيْنِ إذا أرَادَ أن يَبِيعَ نَصِيبَه، وتَمَكَّنَ من بَيْعِه لِشَرِيكِه، وتَخْلِيصِه ممَّا كان بصَدَدِه (٤) من تَوَقُّعِ
