Is a Hiba valid for gifting property to unborn grandchildren?

Hiba made in favour of unborn children is invalid. A key principle that governs Hiba is the fact that Hiba can be effected inter vivos or among living persons. When a Hiba is made to a child in the womb, it would stand valid only if the child is born alive within 6 months from the date the Hiba.
