gifts

Q: I wanted to know about "push present" which is a gift from a husband to his wife for her giving birth of the child. It is usually called "push present" because the wife pushes the baby out. Is a push present allowed in Islam? The wife usually expects a gift from the husband because she has suffered nine months and labour as well. Is it ok for her to seek a gift from her husband?

Q: I have been getting myself closer in following the Sunnahs of our beloved Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) and trying to become a better Muslim and my wife stood by me and supported me she even ties my turban for me. I am 26 years old and the question that I have is as follows, what gifts did Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) gift to his wives to increase or show love? I can get her anything but I would like to know what did our beloved Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) give so I can emulate this behaviour as well?

Q: I am a bit confused in regards to a matter, the issue is upon the death of my mum, my aunt asked for her Islamic clothes as a memoir but I gave it to her so that when my aunt wears my mum's clothes and prays in it, Isaal-e-Sawaab might go to my mum but it's unfortunate that I have never seen my aunt not once pray in those clothes. My wish was to take my mum to hajj but since she is no longer with me I wish to ask those clothes back from my aunt and wear it when I perform hajj. Now I know taking back gift is not a great idea but if I wear the clothes of my mum it will feel like she is with me when I am performing hajj. Can you please advise me if I should ask back the clothes which I bought for my mum and gave it to my aunt, in return I will buy her brand new clothes?
