Summary
According to the Shafi'i school views cited in this fatwa, a hibah of property still under pledge, including charged property, is invalid. The reasons given are that delivery of possession and free disposal of the property cannot be fulfilled, and the donor's ownership is considered incomplete because the pledgee holds a right over it. Parties involved are advised to be careful when entering agreements so that they accord with Shariah requirements.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Menurut pandangan ulama' Mazhab as-Syafie, hibah bagi harta yang masih dalam gadaian termasuk harta bercagar adalah tidak sah
