It provides a means for fathers to actively participate in the upbringing and welfare of their children while promoting stability and legal protection for both the child and the father.
3. Maintenance to Wife: In Muslim law, maintenance to the wife is an obligation imposed on the husband to provide financial support to his wife during the subsistence of marriage and even after divorce. It includes the provision of basic necessities such as food, clothing, shelter, and other reasonable expenses required for the wife’s well-being. The purpose of maintenance is to ensure the wife’s financial security and to uphold her rights and dignity within the marital relationship. The amount of maintenance is determined based on various factors, including the husband’s financial capacity and the standard of living enjoyed during the marriage.
4. Hiba (Gift): In Muslim law, Hiba refers to the act of voluntary transfer of property from one person (donor) to another (donee) without any consideration or expectation of return. It is a form of gift-giving where the donor transfers ownership of the property to the donee out of love, affection, or goodwill. The essential elements of Hiba include the intention of the donor to gift the property, the acceptance of the gift by the donee, and the delivery of the gifted property. Hiba can be made during the donor’s lifetime or even as part of a will. Once a valid Hiba is made, the gifted property becomes the absolute property of the donee, and the donor loses all rights over it.

The duties of a Mutawalli may include collecting and managing the income generated by the Waqf property, maintaining the property, disbursing funds for the intended purposes, and ensuring the fulfillment of the donor’s wishes. The appointment of a Mutawalli can be made by the Waqif (person creating the Waqf) during their lifetime or through a provision in their will. The Mutawalli plays a crucial role in preserving and safeguarding the assets of the Waqf for the benefit of the designated beneficiaries or the intended charitable objectives.
