Taking back a gift

Submitted by user2 on Mon, 2022-03-07 07:04

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.

Q: If you had given someone a sum of money to invest in a property but they are now constantly making excuses not to give the money or the profit to you (but you don't know their situation - maybe they are struggling) would that be considered as just a debt or stealing? Does it make their income haraam? For instance, if they are hosting a function, would it be permissible to attend and partake of the food?

Selling a property and holding back the property while receiving the rentals until full payment is made

Submitted by user2 on Sun, 2022-02-13 07:58

Q: Please advise on the following:

I have a share in a property I'd like to sell privately. The buyer wants a few months to pay.

Can we do the sale as a cash sale rather than credit, and I allow him time to pay, but till he pays the entire amount I hold the ownership of the property and receive the rentals. When the final amount has been paid in full, the property transfers into the buyers ownership and he receives rental.

In essence, for safety reasons and to receive the rental in the interim, will this be permissible, rather than doing a credit transaction where the ownership would transfer immediately and I would have a doubt regarding payment later.
