India's Supreme Court rules oral Islamic gifts valid if intent, acceptance, and possession are proven.
The Supreme Court of India ruled that a gift (hiba) under Mohammedan Law is valid without a written document if the donor clearly intends to give, the recipient accepts, and possession is transferred—either physically or constructively.
The court emphasized that proof of possession, such as collecting rent or applying for mutation, is essential to confirm the gift’s completion.
Once these conditions are met, the gift is irrevocable, regardless of documentation.
The decision, stemming from a Karnataka land dispute, upholds oral gifts under Islamic personal law.
