Which one of the following statements regarding gift in Muslim law is correct ?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Under Muslim law a gift (hiba) may be made orally or in writing: writing is not required, and section 129 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 excludes Muslim gifts from the writing and registration rule of section 123. What makes the gift complete is declaration, acceptance and delivery of possession. A written gift is equally valid, so neither form is exclusive.
