Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I gave a friend of mine a sum of money, and I intended it to be a gift for his kindness to me. Then he returned the money to me and insisted that I take it back. I told him that I had intended it as a gift for him, but he insisted, so I took the money. Is that permissible for me?
Answer:
Yes, if he refused the gift, you may take it back because he refused it. Yes.
