Which description matches the areeat discussed by the Supreme Court in State of U.P. v. Sayed Abdul Jalil under traditional Muslim law?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
An areeat in the sense discussed by the Supreme Court is a permission revocable at the grantor's option.
It leaves ownership with the grantor. Hiba of the corpus instead transfers ownership.
The decision distinguished the revocable licence before it from a gift of the corpus or of a life interest in the usufruct.
Option feedback
Option A
A grant of ownership would be a different form of disposition.
Option B
This captures the revocable character and limited enjoyment of the property.
Option C
No sale or transfer for consideration is described.
Option D
The grantor retains the power to revoke, which rules out an irrevocable life interest.
