Sahih al-Bukhari 6976 (Book 90, Hadith 23) #6706
Pre-emption in Real Estate

SUMMARY: Pre-emption is only valid when the real estate has not been divided, but if the boundaries are established and the ways are made, then there is no preemption.

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: The Prophet has decreed that pre-emption is valid in all cases where the real estate concerned has not been divided, but if the boundaries are established and the ways are made, then there is no preemption. A man said, "Preemption is only for the neighbor," and then he makes invalid what he has confirmed. He said, "If someone wants to buy a house and being afraid that the neighbor (of the house) may buy it through preemption, he buys one share out of one hundred shares of the house and then buys the rest of the house, then the neighbor can only have the right of pre-emption for the first share but not for the rest of the house; and the buyer may play such a trick in this case".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ إِنَّمَا جَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ الشُّفْعَةَ فِي كُلِّ مَا لَمْ يُقْسَمْ، فَإِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْحُدُودُ وَصُرِّفَتِ الطُّرُقُ فَلاَ شُفْعَةَ‏.‏ وَقَالَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ الشُّفْعَةُ لِلْجِوَارِ‏.‏ ثُمَّ عَمَدَ إِلَى مَا شَدَّدَهُ فَأَبْطَلَهُ، وَقَالَ إِنِ اشْتَرَى دَارًا فَخَافَ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ الْجَارُ بِالشُّفْعَةِ، فَاشْتَرَى سَهْمًا مِنْ مِائَةِ سَهْمٍ، ثُمَّ اشْتَرَى الْبَاقِيَ، وَكَانَ لِلْجَارِ الشُّفْعَةُ فِي السَّهْمِ الأَوَّلِ، وَلاَ شُفْعَةَ لَهُ فِي بَاقِي الدَّارِ، وَلَهُ أَنْ يَحْتَالَ فِي ذَلِكَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses pre-emption in real estate. It states that pre-emption is only valid when the real estate has not been divided, but if the boundaries are established and the ways are made, then there is no preemption. This means that once a property has been divided into sections or parts with clear boundaries and paths to access them, it cannot be subject to pre-emptive rights anymore. The Prophet also warned against trying to use tricks or loopholes to get around this rule by buying one share of a house first before buying the rest of it so as to avoid giving neighbors any right of pre-emptive purchase.
