A Husband's Gift
Question :
My wife is infertile and so am I, and my family dislikes her. I intended to sell her a quarter of my house so that they cannot expel her after my death. If this is forbidden, what should I do to atone for my sin?
Answer:
If she has already paid you the sum for which you sold her one quarter of the house, there is no objection to it and that will be a part of the property ownership, and then after your death, she will have a share in the inheritance and they will not be able to expel her. And if it was a gift from you to her without payment which she deserves due to her good behavior towards you and her patience with you, you are entitled to do this also, and your family may not expel her when you have given her this money or this portion. In any case, there is no objection to this for these reasons and other similar reasons.
