Nasai

(1) Two rulings are derived from this hadith: ➊ Revocation in a gift (hibah) is forbidden. ➋ For a father, revocation is permissible. The majority of scholars hold this view. However, the subtlety is that the Hanafis have reversed the matter in both cases. According to them, revocation in a gift is permissible, but a father or a close relative (mahram) cannot revoke. Their reasoning is that the gift of a close relative is an act of maintaining family ties (silat al-rahm), and it is not permissible to sever family ties, unlike with a non-relative, whose gift depends on his own pleasure, so he may take it back whenever he wishes. It is astonishing how, in clear defiance of the authentic and explicit hadith of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), such rational fabrications can be concocted, whereas it could simply be said that when something is given as a gift, it becomes the property of the recipient. It is not permissible to seize anything from someone’s property without their consent; therefore, revocation is not valid for him. However, a father may take anything from his child’s property at any time without permission; thus, revocation is permissible for him. This rational explanation is also in accordance with this hadith: [أنتَ ومالُكَ لأبيكَ] “You and your wealth belong to your father.” (Sunan Ibn Majah, Kitab al-Tijarat, Chapter: What a man may take from his son’s wealth, Hadith: 2291) (See also, Hadith: 3732)
(2) “He is like a dog,” and resemblance to a dog is forbidden; therefore, this act is also forbidden. Since the Hanafis consider revocation permissible, they say: What is forbidden about a dog licking up its vomit that revocation should be forbidden? This is merely for explicit censure, whereas in the following hadith, the words “it is not lawful (la yahillu)” are stated explicitly. Acting upon the hadith alone will bring salvation. Interpretations will be of no avail.
(3) To instill aversion to something prohibited in the Shariah, it is permissible to give the example of something repugnant.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ It is not permissible to take back something after giving it to someone as a gift, whether the gift is ordinary or valuable.

➋ A father may take back something he has given to his children.

➌ The same ruling applies to the mother.

➍ Some scholars have included maternal and paternal grandfathers and grandmothers in this ruling as well.
And Allah knows best.
