Primary text
The sale of a house with its rights encompasses its land, its built structures, and anything attached to it that serves its utility. This includes installed doors, buried water storage jars (*khawabi*), nailed-in shelves, firmly fixed stakes, the stone of a mill that is installed, and similar items. This ruling is based on the principle that what is integral to the structure and necessary for its intended use transfers with the property.

Items not considered essential to the house's utility, such as hidden treasure or buried stones intended for removal, are excluded as they resemble temporary furnishings. Similarly, items that are detached, such as loose furnishings, curtains, food, shelves resting on stakes without being nailed, ropes, buckets, pulleys, locks, or uninstalled millstones and jars not cemented in place, are not included because they are detachable and not specific to the house's essential function.
