Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a person gives me a gift, does it become my absolute property, such that I am permitted to sell it or give it to someone else?
Answer:
Without a doubt. If you accept it, it becomes your property. It is not permissible for the giver to take it back. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1622g. So you have acquired it and may dispose of it as you wish. Yes.

One who gets back his gift is like a dog which vomits and then swallows that vomit.
