The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: A man built a house for his mother, and in return his mother gave him another house equal in value to what he built. Is it permissible for her to give him that?
The Shaykh:
He built a house for his mother, is that right?
The questioner:
Yes, and in return his mother gave him another house equal to what he built?
The Shaykh:
If he built it for her as a gift and seeking reward from Allah, he should not take another house in exchange. However, if she ordered him to build it for her and to give him in return the cost of the expenses, there is no harm. Yes.
