Hibah Amanah
Hibah is an encouraged practice (sunat) based on the words of Allah SWT:
“But if they, of their own good pleasure remit any part of the dower to you, take it and enjoy it with right good cheer”
(Surah Al-Nisa’: 4);
And
““…to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for wayfarers, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves”
(Surah Al-Baqarah: 177)
Definition
