Muslim Law does not apply to which of the following?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 2 of the Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act, 1937 makes Muslim personal law the rule of decision in matters such as gifts, maintenance, and trusts and trust properties, but expressly leaves out "questions relating to agricultural land". So "succession to agricultural land" is governed by the general and local land laws, not by Muslim law, while the other listed matters fall under the Act.
