Ein islamisch gültiges Geschenk, das durch Besitznahme vollzogen wurde, ist unwiderruflich und darf vom Schenker nach der Scheidung nicht zurückgefordert werden, auch wenn die Finanzierung noch läuft.

Sobald ein gültiges Geschenk und die Besitznahme (Qabdh) stattgefunden haben, ist es dem Schenker nicht erlaubt, dieses Geschenk zurückzunehmen oder es zurückzufordern.

Der Text behandelt eine juristische Frage aus dem islamischen Recht (Hanafi-Fiqh) bezüglich eines während der Ehe geschenkten Autos. Die zentrale Aussage lautet, dass ein vollzogenes Geschenk (Hibah) mit Besitznahme (Qabdh) nicht rückgängig gemacht werden kann. Der Sprecher, Mufti Muhammed Hamza Farooqui, stellt klar, dass der Ex-Mann das Auto nicht zurückfordern darf, wenn die Eigentumsübertragung wirksam war. Die Finanzierung des Autos bleibt jedoch die Verantwortung des Schenkers. Sollte das Auto nur geliehen gewesen sein, wäre eine Rücknahme zulässig. Der Text verweist auf hadithische Quellen und juristische Werke wie 'Badaa'i'. Er dient als offizielle Fatwa der Jamiatul Ulama in Südafrika. Die Antwort betont die Bindungswirkung des Geschenks im islamischen Familien- und Sachenrecht.

Nasihah (Advice): Gifting creates Love Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu anhu reported that Rasulullah Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, “Give each other gifts and you will love each other.” [al-Adab al-Mufrad] ______________________________ Question and Answer: Can my ex-husband take back a car he gifted me while we were married? He bought the car for me and gifted it to me during our marriage under finance in his name. After our divorce, he took the car back, leaving me without transportation. Am I legally entitled to keep it since it was given as a gift? A . If your husband gifted you the car and you took full possession of it, the gift (hibah) is considered complete. Once a valid gift and possession (Qabdh) have taken place, it is not permissible for the giver to revoke or reclaim that gift. Therefore, he is not entitled to take the car back after gifting it to you. The fact that the car is financed or still being paid off remains his responsibility , as he accepted that obligation when making the gift. However, if the car was never truly gifted to you, and he only allowed you to use it, then it would be regarded as a loaned item rather than a gift. In that case, he would be within his rights to take it back. In summary, the ruling depends on whether you had genuine ownership and possession of the car, or merely permission to use it. [An-Nutaf fil Fataawa 1/518, Badaa’I 6/115-119] And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best Mufti Muhammed Hamza Farooqui Mufti Taahir Hansa (The answer hereby given is specifically based on the question asked and should be read together with the question asked. Islamic rulings on this Q&A newsletter are answered in accordance to the Hanafi Fiqh unless otherwise stated.)
