Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that a hibah formula made conditionally or for a specified period is invalid and void. The formula may be expressed orally, in writing or by gesture, and a gesture must be understood by both parties and made in the same session. The formula for ruqba and umra gifts was ruled valid and may be implemented in Johor.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
