Alauddin, a competent adult governed by Sunni Muslim personal law, solely owned a plot of land in Guwahati. In good health, before his death on 20.01.2019, he orally declared an immediate unconditional gift of the whole plot to his son Jalaluddin. Jalaluddin accepted it, and Alauddin completely divested himself of possession and delivered the plot to him. These facts are proved. Alauddin also had two other sons. Is the gift invalid merely because it was oral or made to only one son?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

A completed Muslim lifetime gift requires declaration, acceptance and delivery of possession, all of which are proved here. Oral form does not invalidate the transfer, and the donor's other sons do not acquire a share in property validly given away during his lifetime.
