Is it permissible for a woman to take back her gift to her husband?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A woman taking back her gift to her husband?
If she has reasons, such as giving it to him because she fears he will divorce her and he does divorce her, she may take it back. But if she gave it to him because of his poverty and need, and there is no fear of divorce, she has no right to take it back, as the hadiths cover this.
The point is that one must look at the circumstances and fear Allah. If the circumstances indicate that she gave it to him out of fear of his evil, or fear of his divorce, or fear that he would marry another, then if he acts contrary to what she feared, the gift should be returned to her.
