Question:
This brother, Abdul Aziz Al-Otaibi, from Riyadh, says: Honorable Shaykh, I gave some food items to a relative of mine, and then after a period of time he asked me to take them back. Does taking them back count as revoking a gift? And do I have the right to dispose of them for myself?
Answer:
Do not take them back as long as you gave them to him as a gift and he took possession of them, meaning they became his property. If he has no desire for them, he should give them to someone else who is in need. As for you, you do not take them back. Yes.
