Selling Gifts and Bribes

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Finally, I want to mention that I always receive gifts from my colleagues and relatives with whom I studied. These gifts accumulate in my possession. Is it permissible to sell a gift?

Answer:
Yes, a gift becomes your property once you accept it, so you may dispose of it by selling it or giving it to someone else. However, beware of being an employee and accepting gifts from those who come to you for services; this is bribery, which Allah and His Messenger have forbidden. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
