Q: Would it be jaaiz for people to give presents on Eid. I have seen some people give wrapped up presents with cards, very similar to Christmas, on the night before Eid, to the children. They have a big gathering to give this. They say that they do this because children won’t know how to spend the money properly. Would this be jaaiz? What is the status of giving Money on Eid?

Q: My relative gets money as a gift from a guy. She says that he gives it to her just because he has no sister and he wants her to be his sister. Allah knows the truth. She treats us with that money. Is it permissible for me to accept it even if most of her money is haraam?

Q: Please can you clarify the issue of gifts in the format of property.
A man in my city has divided 3 flats in the name of 6 children in his lifetime but the flats are in the name of 2 children۔ In addition, he still extracts rent from each flat. These 'gifts' are meant to be taken upon his death until which he continues to take until his demise. (ie avoiding laws of inheritance completely).
He has 4 daughters and 2 sons. Is this jaiz? He is a nice man, but unfortunately this decision is more like a contractual gift, which may make him questionable on Judgement Day.
Kindly advise what is the truth. This conditional mentality regarding wealth pervades in certain communities here.
Q: Married sisters gifted their share of property which they received from their father to their brother. After 2 years some dispute occured between the brothers wife and sisters, and now they are saying to return their property.

Q: My father wants to declare share of property to his children. We are four siblings, two brothers and two sisters.
According to my father, its 25 percent share for the daughter but according to me its 33 percent.
Now what is concerning him is that we have a big running business and also another small factory (Alhamdulillah) which he started for me and my brother in 2010.
My elder brother is working and supporting him since 2010 and I have joined it in 2016 and now its 2020.
My father thinks that since we have workes and contributed to his running business, we both brothers deserve this business as our part of hard work.
From the rest of the property which my father bought and inherited from his father, it should be equally distributed among the four of us.
Is my father correct if he wants to reward me and my brother for our contribution and for the business which he thinks he started for us?
