Selling land that was gifted to a person
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.
