Question:1: Does a father have the right, after having gifted during his lifetime part of his property to some of his children and not others, to revoke or modify the gift after a few years,especially after the recipients have taken possession and acted upon it, even changing its form, e.g., from a plot of land to a building? 2: If the father is not allowed to revoke the gift as mentioned above, does complying with the father’s will, requiring the recipients of the gift to reconcile with the children who were excluded, or including the gift as part of the total inheritance—constitute a binding obligation as a religiously valid will or not?

Answer: 1: In the name of Allah, in the scenario described, the father is not allowed to revoke the gift. Allah knows best. 2: In the name of Allah, the gifting father may compensate the other children who were not included in the gift with an amount equal to the gift, provided that this bequest does not exceed one-third of the total estate; if it exceeds one-third, its effect requires the consent of the heirs. Allah knows best.

Question:If a person gifts a building to someone by registering it officially in government records, but the donor does not vacate it, does not relinquish control, the donee is not granted permission, does not take possession of the gift, does not exercise authority over it, and does not receive any income from it, can it be considered that possession has been achieved from a religious perspective?

Answer:In the name of Allah, a gift is not considered complete in Islamic law unless actual delivery (possession) takes place. Allah knows best.

Question:Does a father have the right to reclaim a specific amount of money from his son, which he had lent to him, after he had voluntarily waived the amount without coercion or undue pressure? The father had repeatedly waived the same amount in this manner, and to confirm this, a document was written and signed by both the father and the son, with some witnesses attesting to the father's waiver. After a period of time, the father then requested to cancel what he had pledged to waive, claiming that he had waived it out of shyness, although he acknowledged that the waiver was made without coercion or pressure from the son?

Answer:In the name of Allah, in the scenario presented, the father does not have the right to claim back the amount he lent and waived. Allah knows best.

Question:Is it permissible for a parent to grant one of their children a gift without involving the other siblings?

Answer:In the name of Allah, it is preferable to seek the consent of the heirs, and it is disliked to favor some heirs over others except with their consent. However, if a parent does what they wish without opposition, it is valid as long as they are in good health and not suffering from a terminal illness. Allah knows best.

Question:In the name of Allah, according to the traditions of Ahlulbait (PBUT), there is no obligatory or optional ruling proved in a reliable source. Allah knows best.

Answer:In the name of Allah, bestowing is achieved and done by receiving the keys and evacuating the house to the son from the fathers' side. The estate revenue department has nothing to do with that. Allah knows best.
