After our father's death, can we the children come together and demand that the house we grew up in be left out of the sharing and splitting of his possessions so that we can keep that house as a family house?
If all who are entitled in the inheritance agree to leave their shares in the house and keep the house for the common use of the family, then it is for them to do that. If any one from them objects in that, others must give him his share from the house.
Wassalam.
