Under Hanafi Muslim law, which of the following is not an exception permitting a gift of an undivided share in property capable of division?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Under Hanafi Muslim law, a gift of an undivided share (mushaa) in property capable of division is valid without prior partition in four recognized exceptional cases: (1) a gift by one co-heir to another co-heir; (2) a gift of a share in a zamindari or taluka; (3) a gift of a share in freehold property situated in a large commercial town; and (4) a gift of a share in a land company. A share in freehold property in a small non-commercial town does not fall within that exception.
