Is it permissible to buy a gift?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Charity is not permissible to buy because it is for Allah. So if it is a gift for Allah, is it permissible to buy it?

Answer : That is what he named it. One who names charity intends to draw near to Allah the Exalted while benefiting the recipient of the charity. A gift is intended to benefit the recipient, and a present is intended to express affection and endearment to the one to whom it is given.
