Question: What is the ruling on one who revokes his gift, meaning he gave a man a sum of money as a gift and then took it back?
Answer: The ruling is that he has committed a sin, and he must repent of it and return the gift to its owner; based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih Muslim 1622g and the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Bulugh al-Maram 7:188 and success is from Allah.
Answer: The ruling is that he has committed a sin, and he must repent of it and return the gift to its owner; based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
One who gets back his gift is like a dog which vomits and then swallows that vomit.
العائد في هبته كالكلب، يقيئ ثم يعود في قيئهIt is not lawful for a Muslim man to give a gift and then take it back, except a father regarding what he gives a child.
لا يحل لمسلم أن يعطي العطية ثم يرجع فيها، إلا الوالد فيما يعطي ولده
