Buying a gift from the person who sold it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I gave a gift to a friend of mine, but I was informed that he had sold it, so I was sad about that. Then I went and bought it from that person. Is this permissible? And is it analogous to zakah?
Answer:
The hadith of 'Umar applies to you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade him from buying the horse that he had ridden, which was being used by someone fighting in the cause of Allah. So he left it alone, but 'Umar wanted to buy it. However, he went to the Messenger and asked him, and he forbade him from doing so.
