Practical Laws of Islam as per the teachings of Imam Khamenei

Ṣulḥ: Concluding a Second Ṣulḥ on the Same Property Without Notifying the First Party

English:

Question #1785:

Is it permissible for the owner, who concluded a ṣulḥ with another person, to withdraw and conclude another ṣulḥ with a third party, involving the same property without informing the person who was party to the first ṣulḥ?

Answer #1785:

If the ṣulḥ was concluded in a proper manner, it should be binding on the owner. Thus, he has no right to withdraw unless he has reserved the right to rescind the ṣulḥ. So, if he enters into a ṣulḥ with another party, its validity becomes dependent on the approval of the person who was party to the first ṣulḥ.
