Giving gifts by a husband to his wife, and by a wife to her husband

قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ جَائِزَةٌ. وَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ لاَ يَرْجِعَانِ. وَاسْتَأْذَنَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نِسَاءَهُ فِي أَنْ يُمَرَّضَ فِي بَيْتِ عَائِشَةَ. وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْعَائِدُ فِي هِبَتِهِ كَالْكَلْبِ يَعُودُ فِي قَيْئِهِ». وَقَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ فِيمَنْ قَالَ لاِمْرَأَتِهِ هَبِي لِي بَعْضَ صَدَاقِكِ أَوْ كُلَّهُ. ثُمَّ لَمْ يَمْكُثْ إِلاَّ يَسِيرًا حَتَّى طَلَّقَهَا فَرَجَعَتْ فِيهِ قَالَ يَرُدُّ إِلَيْهَا إِنْ كَانَ خَلَبَهَا، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ أَعْطَتْهُ عَنْ طِيبِ نَفْسٍ، لَيْسَ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ خَدِيعَةٌ، جَازَ، قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: {فَإِنْ طِبْنَ لَكُمْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ نَفْسًا}.Ibrahim said, “It is permissible.” ‘Umar bin ‘Abdul ‘Aziz said, “None of them can take his gift back.” The Prophet took permission from his wives to let him stay with ‘Aishah during his illness. The Prophet said, “A person who takes back his gift (what he donates) is like a dog that swallows back its vomit.” Az-Zuhri said, “If a husband asks his wife to remit all or some of the Mahr (bridal money), and shortly after her consent he divorces her whereupon she demands what she has given up, then he should pay back her gift, if he has deceived her. But if she has given her free consent willingly and the man has meant no deception, the gift is valid, for Allah تعالى says: “… But if they, of their own good pleasure, remit any part of it to you…” (V.4:4)
