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.
