Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Hafeeza Bibi v. Shaikh Farid (2011) identifies declaration, acceptance and delivery of possession as the essentials of a Muslim gift and confirms that "an oral gift" satisfying them is valid. Section 129 of the Transfer of Property Act preserves Muslim gift law, so writing and registration are not universal conditions of a valid hiba.
