Ruling on selling or giving away a gift

Question:
This is a message received from Morocco from one of the listening brothers. He says in this question: A person was given a gift consisting of gold jewelry. The question is: Is it permissible for him to sell it and benefit from its price? Please issue a ruling for us, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Yes, if a gift is given to you, and it is not a bribe, but a gift from a loving brother or a relative, not in exchange for betrayal or ..., then there is nothing wrong with it. It becomes your property, and you may dispose of it as you wish: sell it, keep it, or give it to someone else; there is nothing wrong with that. However, if it is a bribe so that you might turn away from the truth, or so that you might rule unjustly, or so that you might wrong someone, then that is not permissible. If this gift is a bribe for you to wrong someone, or to betray a case in your hands, or if you are a judge and you rule other than by the truth, all of this is reprehensible.
As for if it is a gift for the sake of Allah and in the path of Allah, because you are his friend, because you are his brother in Allah, or because you are his relative, and not for any other matter of betrayal or injustice, then there is nothing wrong with it. It is your property, and you may dispose of it. The Sunnah for you is to reciprocate, to reward him for his gift. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to accept gifts and reward them, meaning: he gave something in return for them. This is the best.
