Recommended: Islamic law of inheritance easy

1. Introduction Islamic inheritance structure is consisting of institutions which are faraid, bequest and inter vivos gift (hibah). Faraid means the Islamic law of succession, which definitely, is the leader of the Islamic inheritance arrangement. It is meant to defend descendants’ rights with instruction of the fixed entitlements of authorized heirs. Faraid may seem to be an undeniable, given set of rules but the equality of the obligatory rules of faraid exists in the form of bequest (wasiyyah) and inter vivos gift (hibah). The difference between wasiyyah and hibah lies in the fact that each transmission ways and means of the property is determined at the difference country and subject to difference boundaries. In regard of the religion, if a transfer took place between the livings, it is known as hibah while if it took place upon the death, it is called a wasiyyah or bequest. Faraid and wasiyyah has an inherent limitation according to ulama and traditional Islamic defenders, but in Hibah there is no such limitations exist because the owner can transfer of all rights in the property himself during his life. However, Faraid and Wasiyyah can only distributed after the death of the donor. 1.1 DEFINITION Hibah is defined in Islamic concept as a form of a funding either in its physical form (‘ain) or otherwise. It covers gifts and alms. The difference is in the purpose of the gift. Alms are grants intended for reward in the hereafter, and usually given by the rich to the poor. A gift is a contribution to appreciate someone and is usually related to a specific matter. It can be concluded here that all alms and gifts are hibah, but not all hibah are alms and gifts. Moreover, hibah according to Islamic term is a contract (akad) that... ... middle of paper ... ...es first. If recipient predecessed the owner then the gift must be returned to the donor. The transfer of property from the donor to the recipient is affected but the temporal condition is voided. Only the Hanafis and Malikis prohibited conditional gift and on the other most of the jurist allow temporal gift. It is pronouncement as provider says, “This shop I give to you as hibah and if you die first then the assets will be resumed to me and if I die first then the asset is for you.” The third is usufruct gift; Hanafi said it depends on whether or not the property itself survives after the recipient collects its usufruct. Usufruct of non-fungibles thing which the usufruct is to be imitative can only be used by consumption is equivalent to a full gift. 3.

    ... constant today. In earlier times the social purpose of a gift was to either solidify a military alliance or to secure protection from greater powers. Now the social purpose of a gift is to express thanks or, as in ancient times, to solidify a friendship. However, the transfer of wealth upon ones death to loved ones, friends and charities through a legal Will is almost identical to the bestowment of treasure Beowulf exercises upon his death. Andrew Carnegie one of the wealthiest men of the modern era mirrors the Anglo-Saxon gift giving sentiment in his quote, “The kept dollar is a stinking fish…the man who dies rich, dies thus disgraced.” It is interesting that the ideals employed many years ago are still such an important part of modern society. Ideals that transcend the barriers of history are those with the most validity and integration within society.

    However, as may be expected from our modern society, the custom of giving gifts quickly turned into the practice of exchanging them. If one gives gifts to loved ones at Christmas, the reasoning goes, then those who do not receive gifts from a person are obviously not loved by him/her. So each individual now is required to give a gift to all of his/her friends, or risk communicating to them that s/he no longer loves them -- or perhaps never did! Also, there arises another problem when someone gets a gift from a person to whom they did not give one. The logic here is that the one who gave the gift obviously has a greater love for or places a greater value on the friendship than the one who did not. A decidedly awkward situation arises from this, one can imagine.

  • A Gift as the Tansfer of Legal Property

    1949 Words  | 4 Pages

    A gift is the transfer of legal property such as land, a house or money. Since there is no consideration for the gift, a gift is not regarded a contract and as such a gift will fail if the person giving the gift does not take the necessary steps to divest himself from the gift. Where a gift fails it reverts back to the person intending to make the gift or to the estate of that person where the gift is testamentary. A completely constituted trust implies that the trust property is conferred to the trustees and the trust is binding on the donor who cannot revoke the trust. When the trust property is not properly vested the trust is considered incompletely constituted and it is void as equity will not force the donor to complete the trust.

  • Middle Eastern Culture

    2002 Words  | 5 Pages

    The region of the Middle East and its inhabitants have always been a wonder to the Europeans, dating back to the years before the advent of Islam and the years following the Arab conquest. Today, the Islamic world spreads from the corners of the Philippines to the far edges of Spain and Central Africa. Various cultures have adopted the Islamic faith, and this blending of many different cultures has strengthened the universal Islamic culture. The religion of Islam has provided a new meaning to the lives of many people around the world. In the Islamic world, the religion defines and enriches culture and as a result the culture gives meaning to the individual. Islam is not only a religion, it is in its own way a culture. It may be this very fact that the Europeans have not yet understood, as to how religion plays a significant role in the life of a Muslim. One of the more commonly misunderstood aspects of the Shariah is the role of the family, in particular the role of the women in the family and in the society in which she lives in. The actual role of a woman in a particular Muslim community may vary according to the part of the world she lives in, nonetheless all Muslim women abide by the same fundamental rules and regulations which the religion clearly defines. Both the Quran and the Hadith are detailed sources that describe the role of women in Islamic History. The rights and responsibilities of a woman are equal to those of a man, although are not identical with them.

  • Jehoshaphat And Ahah

    160 Words  | 1 Pages

    II Chronicles 18 seems to point to Jehoshaphat's riches and honor as a cause for his alliance with Ahab. It seemed materially and politically beneficial to ally himself with Ahab. Jehoshaphat was willing to mingle himself with the most evil king Israel ever had in order to expand his political aims. He even arranged a marriage between his son and Ahab and Jezebel's evil daughter Athalia in order to strengthen their bond. When Ahab asked Jehoshaphat to go fight with him, Jehoshaphat declares that, "I am as thou art" (I Kings 22:4). It does not seem that Ahab's wickedness bothered him much. Although he insisted on hearing a prophet of the Lord before going into battle, he did not heed Micaiah's prophecy any more than Ahab did. It is never wise
