Is it permissible to donate a house to a girl one is sponsoring, given the existence of heirs such as the husband, brother, and nephews, and that these heirs possess their own properties?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is permissible for you to donate the house to that girl during your lifetime, as long as you are not suffering from a life-threatening illness. However, if the donation is made after your death, or during a life-threatening illness, it is only permissible up to one-third of your estate. If the house exceeds one-third of the estate, it is not permissible to donate the excess, and a bequest of more than one-third to a non-heir is forbidden.
