Gifts

Q: I want to ask regarding inheritance. I have 3 daughters, so at present when I pass away, after my wife and daughters receive their share, the majority will go to my brothers or if they are no longer living then to my nephews by my understanding.

If I was to put the majority of my property into my wife and daughters names and leave for example 10% in my name, when I die I assume the share of that 10% will go to my my wife and daughters, and the remaining will go to other male inheritors.

So you see my intention is that my wife and daughters get the majority share by me transferring most of my property into their names.

My question is whether that is permissible by Islamic law.

Q: Please could I get clarity on the following regarding wills:

If a person wants a particular relative to receive a particular item upon his/her death, can this be done? (For instance, items that are currently in use that cannot be given during one's life e.g. a car, jewellery, sentimental items, etc.)

Can a person write in his Islamic will that upon his demise, such and such item of his should be given to person A? 

Q: If a man has no children, can he allot all his inheritance to his one adopted child?

If a man has no children but has nieces and nephews, so he adopts a baby. Now, he has some inheritance on his name also. Their child, being a female got married. And now the man is willing to transfer the inheritance to his child completely as his brothers didn’t help him even a little in building the inheritance nor did the nephews and nieces. But the man had heard that inheritance could not be transferred to the adopted child. So, is there any possibility that the man can inherit all his property to his only adopted child legally by Islam, or if not then is it possible for the man to sell all the property to the child’s husband and the child’s husband then shifts the property to the man’s child name? Please help me in this regard. 

Q: I am currently working for an income for the first time in my life. My father is telling me to give as a gift my first income to my mother so that I would have barakah in my wealth.

Can I disobey him as I need the money and my mother is not in need as far as I know. My parents do not live together.

Q: I do not celebrate birthdays, however my family does. What should I do with gifts they give me?

Q: We are 2 brothers and 1 sister. Our father passes away long time ago and our mother is alive.

We have one house which is on our mother's name. She wants to divide the house between us siblings. How should it be done according to shariah?

Q: Please advise the shariah ruling regarding giving sinni (gifts) when a child is born. 

Q:

1. Is loyalty points and the money attained by means of this permissible? Example: Smart Shopper points.

Q: I'm teaching maktab and my students often give me sweets, chips, etc. What's the ruling regarding taking chips, sweets, etc. from these na baligh children?

Q: Mufti Saheb, could you please explain to me in which situation is it permissible for a person to take back a gift and in which situation is it not permissible? Is it makrooh-e-tahreemi to take back a gift which one had gifted someone or makrooh-e-tanzeehi?

Similarly, if a person gifted a family member, is there any difference in the sharee ruling if one wishes to take back the gift?

Supposing, someone had taken back the gift from a non-relative or relative against their consent and happiness, what are the deeni consequences? Will the item return to one’s ownership and will it be permissible for one to use the item?

I am a student in madrasah and would appreciate if you could provide me with the full details around this masalah.
