Gifts

Taking a gift from someone who's wealth is doubtful

Q: A friend of ours is unemployed and dependent financially on the government but is actively looking for work. He has a mother who repeatedly tells him that she will buy him a house, which gives him hope because he can live on the rental yields and not be in fear of eviction while he continues to search for a job. He will also be in a better position to transfer his mother's house to his name so as to avoid inheritance tax. The problem is that her wealth is very dubious and most likely gained in a haram way. For some time now she has been receiving benefits from the government but recently she has also been renting out rooms in her house. How she amassed her wealth is another story and cannot be explained by the benefits she receives but from what things she did (and probably still does) like take interest from the banks, working in betting  establishments, and committing refund fraud. My questions are:

  1. Can he receive a gift from his mother?
  2. Can he inherit from her?

Refusing a gift

Q: Is this also considered as refusing a gift? When a person informs the person in advance who wants to give a gift that please don't bring any gift we will not receive it?

Stolen wealth

Q: If someone feeds you something, or gives you clothing that they have stolen. Will you be sinful in using it if you do not know for sure that they stole it? 

Using waqf money in the manner the donor specified

Q: I had made a Hiba of a property to a charitable organisation with the intention of Isaal-e-Sawaab and stipulated that the income from the property be utilised for charity purposes only, example for the poor and needy, widows, orphans, for their medical and educational purposes and for mosques and madrasas etc. and also requested that a seperate account be maintained for this purpose. This understanding was put on a paper as a document in the form of Memorandum of Understanding and the caretakers of the charitable organisation accepted the offer along with these conditions and signed the document also. Now they have ustilised the revenue from the gifted property to clear up some liabilities of the organisation which they owe to a Bait ul Maal from which they had wrongly withdrawn money for the purpose of construction of a property belonging to the charitable organisation although the money in that particular Bait ul Maal account was made up of only Zakaat money. Now the caretakers have transfered money from he income generated from my gifted property into the Bait ul Maal account to comopensate for the money they had wrongly withdrawn earlier. This is real and sole intention in the transfer of money although the money so transfered into the Bait ul Maal account would eventually be utilised for distributing to Zakat deserving
people only. But please advice whether this procedure adopted by the caretakers [muttawalis] in this manner is right or wrong.

إعطاء الهدايا

س

السؤال الأول: إذا أعطى أحد للآخر الهدايا ظاهرا (بأن يرون الآخرون فعله) لأجل ترغيب الناس بالمهادات بينهم لكي تزاد المساعدة و الرحمة و المحبة بين المسلمين - هل له ثواب لمثل هذه النية (في إعطاء الهدايا ظاهرا)؟

السؤال الثاني: هل هناك أحاديث ثابتة تدل على أن من فعل فعلا حسنا ظاهرا لأجل ترغيب الآخرين بأن يفعلوا هذا الفعل الحسن - فله ثواب لمثل هذه النية؟
