The ruling on buying back a gift after it has been given
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I gave a man a gift, and then he offered it for sale. Is it permissible for me to buy this gift?
The Shaykh:
No, do not buy it, because this is a return in the gift. Yes.
The questioner:
And he says, may Allah preserve you: If he gave it to me after a period of time and without my asking for it, am I allowed to take it?
The Shaykh:
No, once you know that it is the property you gifted him, it does not return to you. Yes.
