Summary
A hibah made during the giver's lifetime is valid if its conditions and pillars are met and the gift is documented. The giver does not need the approval of other people, as the conditions for the giver and recipient do not require it. Once the property has been gifted, it cannot be taken back. Hibah is a prescribed practice and is encouraged, especially toward relatives, to strengthen family ties.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pemberi hibah juga tidak memerlukan persetujuan orang lain untuk menghibahkannya.
