The questioner:
We have a call from Alian in Jeddah. Please, Alian. Welcome, my dear. I have a wife, daughters, and sons, and we have been together for thirty years. I have a land grant measuring thirty by thirty in Jeddah, and I want to gift it to my wife. I do not know if this is permissible or not, perhaps as compensation for the time she has spent with me.
The Shaykh:
This is permissible. It is permissible to give to your wife and designate the gift for her exclusively. There is no objection to this. Be patient, my brother. There is no objection to this.
The questioner:
Mm.
The Shaykh:
Is it better for you to leave this land for your benefit and the benefit of your children than to give it to your wife?
