The Law Relating To Gifts, Trusts, And Testamentary Dispositions: Among The Mahommedans. (According To The Hanafi, Maliki, Shafei, And Shiah Schools.)

The Law Relating to Gifts, Trusts, and Testamentary Dispositions by Syed Ameer Ali provides a comprehensive legal analysis of Islamic inheritance and property transfer laws. It systematically compares the interpretations of four major Islamic schools—Hanafi, Maliki, Shafei, and Shiah—on matters like gifts (hiba), wills (wasiyyah), and trusts (waqf). The book bridges classical jurisprudence and colonial Indian legal practice, serving both legal scholars and practitioners. It remains a foundational text in understanding Muslim personal law under British India.
