Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the verdict of pre-emption (shuf‘ah) in every joint property that has not been divided, whether it is land or a garden. It is not good for one partner to sell (his share) without the permission of the other partner. The partner has the choice: if he wishes, he may take it, and if he wishes, he may leave it. And if one partner sells his share without informing the other partner, then the (other partner) has more right to it.

Imam Darimi (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: Do you also say the same? He replied: Yes (i.e., he has the right of pre-emption; by giving the same amount that the partner received, he can take his share from the outsider).
