The Gift-Giver Buying the Gift from Someone Other Than the Recipient
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The second question of Fatwa No. ( 13491 )
Q2: A man gave a car to another man as a gift without any compensation, and the recipient sold it to a third person. The original owner, who had given it as a gift, now wants to buy it back from the third person.
Is this permissible, and does it count as a change in the nature of the transaction?
A2: It is permissible to buy the gift in the scenario described, because the gift-giver is buying it from someone other than the recipient. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
