Summary
Hibah is a voluntary gift of property that takes effect during the donor's lifetime. A hibah set to take effect after the donor's death is invalid and is treated as a will, and a hibah already received cannot be revoked except a gift from a parent or grandparent to a child or grandchild, subject to conditions: the recipient is legally competent to manage property, the property is still in their ownership, no return is required, and the property is undamaged. The fatwa also rules on the validity of hibah involving joint accounts, mortgaged property, takaful benefits, cluster settlement land, trustees, and savings or unit trusts, and allows a hibah to be documented.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hibah yang menetapkan tarikh kuat kuasa selepas kematian penghibah adalah tidak sah. Hibah tersebut dianggap sebagai wasiat dan kepada hukum wasiat.
