Selling land that was gifted to a person

· 29 Jumada I 1446 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Is selling the land received from a Hiba in a foreign country a compulsory requirement to fulfil the requirements of Hiba or can it be used and sold when the need arises?

Answer

If a person is gifted a land by someone and he is given full control over land by the person who gifted the land to him, he will be regarded as the owner of the land.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
