Gifting Property To Children
As-salāmu ʿalaykum – ٱلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ
I have two questions.
1.
I own two properties and want to gift these to four of my children (2 sons and 2 daughters) on equal basis now when I am alive.
My understanding is that I am allowed to give whatever I want to who ever I want in my life and this has nothing to do with my inheritance. While gifting I am also treating my children with fairness and justice and on equal basis.
Is my understanding ok from Shariah perspective?
2.
Imagine I make a written agreement with my children that I am gifting both of my properties to them on equal basis but for some legal reasons I am not able to transfer the ownership to them in my life.
After my death, will my children inherit these two properties according to my written agreement (each gets equal share irrespective of gender) or according to the shares prescribed by the holy Quran where my sons get double the share than their sisters?
Please advise

You can do that. And if the children d not go to the court, they will get what you bequeathed.

Dear Irfan
AS-salāmu ʿalaykum – ٱلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ
Many thanks for your response. As I live in UK, there are some legal and tax implications if someone dies without writing a Will.
My question is – can I write in my Will that I had agreed to gift my properties equally among my children irrespective of their gender?
Please advise
Best wishes
