Gift-giving

It is from the praiseworthy actions and motivations of love. As the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him and his progeny, said: ((Give each other gifts, because this will cause love)).

Its conditions are:

• consent and acceptance in a sitting before refusing;
• the granter is to be morally responsible;
• the granted item must be from the money which is allowed to be sold. The same is to be done in case of the gift, except in case of the gift, receiving the gift substitutes accepting it.

Recanting the grant is allowed and it is right, except if the grant is for Allah's sake, or if it was granted to a close relative whose marriage is prohibited, a relative, or if it was intended to serve ties of kinship. The father should accept the gift of his child.

The granted one is allowed to compensate the granter for beneficence, if s/he wanted to.

The father must pay his children equal portions of a grant, in case of the inheritance, as they are equal in the conditions, relationship, and righteousness. They are evidences that prove that violating this is forbidden. Also, the grant is forbidden in case of an obligation (like teaching) or a judgment of the Divine Law. Similar prohibition is in the case of a forbidden activity, like singing. The same is in case regarding gifts to governors and princes. All of it is considered a forbidden bribe—except after having permission from an imam of guidance.
