Summary
The Penang state fatwa decides that the land may be given to the foster child by way of hibah while the owner or his wife is still alive. Alternatively, one third of the land may be bequeathed by will, taking effect after the owner or his wife has died. The same ruling applies to the matter stated as being the same as above.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tanah tersebut boleh diberikan kepada anak berkenaan dengan cara Hibbah (هبــة)semasa tuan atau isteri masih hidup atau mewasiatkan 1/3 bahagian daripada tanah itu selepas tuan atau isteri telah meninggal dunia.
