Is it permissible to take something from a man who gave it to you out of shyness?

Question : Some people are subtle about it. For example, if he finds a book with a person and says, "This book is beautiful, and I do not have one like it." What does that mean? "Give it to me." That means he gave it to me. The owner might be shy and feel embarrassed, so he gives it to him. Is it permissible for him to accept it? There is no god but Allah.

Answer : It is not permissible, because the scholars, may Allah have mercy on them, and they were correct, stated that if someone gives you a gift out of shyness and embarrassment, you should not accept it. It is forbidden for you to accept it, and this is clear, because if it were not for the shyness, he would not have given it to you.
