Client’s Legal Status for Assumed Lack of the Expediency of the Incapacitated (Maḥjūr) to Exercise or Disregard the Right of Pre-emption

Pre-emption is a right based on which, whenever a partner sells his share, the other partner can acquire that share by paying the price to the buyer. Whenever the right owner is maḥjūr (incapacitated), it will be the guardian's responsibility to exercise or disregard it, according to the presence or absence of expediency. Given that exercising or disregarding the right can actually be in the presence or absence of expediency or ignorance about it, and considering the possibility of the consent or non-consent of the maḥjūr (after removing the incapacitation) with respect to the action of the guardian, several situations can be imagined in this field. The silence of the civil law in these cases and the need to refer to valid fatwas show the necessity of research on this issue. At the same time, most of the fatwas have been issued only with regard to the maḥjūr right, and their implementation will also cause significant problems. In this article, while preserving the maḥjūr right and emphasizing the client's rights and the need to observe the principle of the necessity of transactions, the said fatwas have been critiqued and based on the separation of responsibility of "guardian against the maḥjūr " and "the client against the maḥjūr ", it was concluded that the guardian's decision in exercising or disregarding the pre-emption is binding. However, in case of non-observance of the expediency of the maḥjūr, the guardian is the guarantor of damages caused to the maḥjūr due to non-observance of expediency.
