On which of the following Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act, 1937 does not apply ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 2 of the Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act, 1937 makes Muslim personal law the rule of decision in matters including "gifts, trusts and trust properties, and wakfs". Wills, adoption and legacies are left out of section 2.
Under section 3, the Act applies to wills, adoption and legacies only for a Muslim who makes a declaration before the prescribed authority. So the Act applies to waqf and hiba as of course, but not to wills.
