A husband wants to give the house to his first wife as a gift (hibah) during his lifetime. Is it valid?
Valid, if the pillars of hibah are met: giver, recipient, property and offer and acceptance, and the property is handed over (qabd) to the recipient, for example by transfer of the title. Once the hibah is complete, the house belongs to the wife and is not part of the husband's estate. A hibah made during a terminal illness (maradh al-maut), however, is treated like a bequest: limited to 1/3 and requiring the heirs' consent if the recipient is an heir. In polygyny, the husband must take care that a hibah does not become a means of wronging the other wives and children. A hibah made deliberately to deny heirs their rights is criticised by scholars even if outwardly valid. Disputes over hibah are decided by the Syariah Court.
