Under the Muslim or Muhammadan law, a hiba or gift is the transfer of property made immediately by one person, the donor, to another, the donee, and accepted by or on behalf of the latter without any consideration, provided the donor totally renounced his title and rights in the property. Every Muslim of sound mind, except minor, may dispose of his property by way of gift. The Muhammadan law permits gifting away all properties during the donor’s lifetime in favour of a stranger, to the complete exclusion of the donor’s heirs. Nonetheless, a gift to a non-existing person is void.
