Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
He who gives
something (to someone) as a gift and then gets it back (from him or her) is like a dog which eats its own vomit
.''
Another narration is: "
He who gets back his charity is like a dog which vomits and then returns to that and eats it
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
The evil and abomination of taking back a gift (
Hibah
) is evident from the fact that one who does it
has been considered akin to a dog, and what is taken back to vomit, which is extremely repulsive. Religious scholars
are, however, of the opinion that this injunction is for the strangers (
non-relatives
). If a person gives something as a
gift to his children or grandchildren, this order will not apply to him. It is permissible for him to take it back.

`Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) said: I donated a horse in the way of Allah. Its new
possessor did not treat it properly. I made my mind to buy it because I thought that he would sell it at a cheap price
(now that it became weak and emaciated). I asked the Prophet (PBUH) about it, whereupon he said, "
Do not buy it
and do not get back your charity, for one who gets back the charity is like a dog that eats its own vomit
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
Commentary:
We learn from this Hadith that even to purchase something which one has already given in charity is
not permissible.
