1349. Samurah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The lifelong gift is permitted for its inhabitant" or: "is an inheritance for its inhabitant." (Sahih) [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Zaid bin Thābit, Jābir, Abū Hurairah, 'Aishah, Ibn Az-Zubair, and Mu'āwiyah.
١٣٤٩ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «الْعُمْرَى» جَائِزَةٌ لِأَهْلِهَا، أَوْ مِيرَاثٌ لِأَهْلِهَا وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، وَجَابِرٍ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَعَائِشَةَ، وَابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، وَمُعَاوِيَةَ.

'Al-'Umrā' means a gift given for a lifelong period. This word is derived from 'Umr. This is a particular way of giving a gift. For example, saying, I give you this house to reside in during my entire life. This is lawful and approved by most of the scholars.
