Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible, the questioner asks, for his father to take back a gift he gave him on the occasion of his marriage, given that he had some brothers witness this amount?
Answer:
Yes, it is permissible for a father to take back his gift to his son, specifically the father, whereas for anyone else it is not permissible. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1622g Sahih Muslim 1622g. Therefore, it is not permissible to take back a gift after it has been received, except by the father, because the father takes from his son’s wealth what does not harm the son and what the son does not need, so it is permissible for him to take it back, especially if he intends to equalize among his children. Yes.

One who gets back his gift is like a dog which vomits and then swallows that vomit.
العائد في هبته كالكلب يقيء ثم يرجع في قيئه،and then swallows that vomit
ثم يعود في قيئه
