Q1: A man gave his brother a car as a gift, and the one to whom it was gifted wanted to sell the car. Is it permissible for the one who gave the car to buy it, or is it not permissible for him to buy it?
A1: It is not permissible for the giver to buy what he gifted to his brother. It is narrated from 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said:Bulugh al-Maram 7:195 . And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

A1: It is not permissible for the giver to buy what he gifted to his brother. It is narrated from 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said:
I rode a horse in the cause of Allah, and its owner lost it. I thought he would sell it cheaply, so I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about that. He said: Do not buy it, even if he gives it to you for a single dirham, for the one who takes back his charity is like a dog that returns to its vomit.
حملت على فرس في سبيل الله، فأضاعه صاحبه، فظننت أنه بائعه برخص، فسألت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عن ذلك، فقال: لا تبتعه وإن أعطاكه بدرهم، فإن العائد في صدقته كالكلب يعود في قيئه
