Under Muslim Law, if the donee dies before the acceptance of a gift (Hiba), then the gift is:

Under Muslim Law, the three essential requisites of a valid gift (Hiba) are: (1) declaration of the gift by the donor (Ijab), (2) acceptance of the gift, express or implied, by or on behalf of the donee (Qabul), and (3) delivery of possession of the subject matter of the gift by the donor to the donee. Because acceptance by the donee during his lifetime is essential to complete the transaction, a gift fails and is void if the donee dies before accepting it.
