402 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ: ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ طَاوُسًا يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ حَجَرٍ الْمُدَرِيِّ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَضَي بِالْعُمْرَي لِلْوَارِثِ»
Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the ruling that ‘Umra is to be given to the heir.

Benefits and Issues:
Whatever is given to someone for a lifetime will not return to the giver after the recipient’s death; rather, just as the rest of the deceased’s estate is distributed among his heirs, so too will the thing received in this manner be included in the inheritance and divided among his heirs. This is because, according to the Shariah, this item falls under the ruling of a gift (hiba), and therefore it will be considered the lawful property of the recipient.

That is, in the event of the death of the one to whom the ‘umra was given, it will go to his heirs; it will not return to the giver.
