The ruling on the donor's right to revoke a gift of land or a house given for use for a period

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A person gave a piece of land or a house to one of his relatives to benefit from it for a certain period. Is he allowed to take it back from him whenever he wishes?

Answer:
He may not take it back until the time he specified has passed. Once the time he specified has passed, he may take it back. In reality, this is a loan (ariyah).
