Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: In our view, there is no difference of opinion in this matter: if a father gives something to his son as charity, and the son takes possession of it, or if the son is of a young age, in the father's lap, and the father makes witnesses over the charity, then it is not permissible for the father to take it back, because it is not permissible to take back anything given as charity.

Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: In our view, this ruling is based on consensus, that if a person gives something to his son out of love, and not as charity, then he can take it back, as long as the son has not started dealing based on the ownership of that property, and people have not started lending him money relying on that property. But when this happens, then he cannot take it back.

Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if a person gives a gift to his son and a woman marries that son because he has become wealthy by receiving the property as a gift, or if a person gives a gift to his daughter, and then a man marries her with the thought of that property, then now the father cannot take back (the gift).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever gives someone an 'Umra (a gift for life) for him and his heirs, then that 'Umra becomes his, and the giver cannot take it back." (Because he has given something in which inheritance has become established.)

Abdur Rahman bin Qasim heard from Mak’hool, who asked Qasim: What is the opinion of people regarding ‘Umra? Qasim said: I have found people fulfilling their conditions in their wealth, and whatever they used to give, they would fulfill that as well.

Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: In our view, the ruling is that the one who gives 'Umra will receive the 'Umra back if the recipient dies and the giver did not give it to the heirs of the recipient, but rather gave it only for the lifetime of the recipient.

It is narrated from Nafi that Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) inherited from Umm al-Mu'mineen Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her). She had given her house to the daughter of Zayd bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) to live in for her lifetime. When she died, Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) took possession of that house, considering it his own.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zayd bin Khalid al-Juhani, may Allah be pleased with him, that a man came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and asked him about a lost item (luqatah). The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Recognize its container (in which the lost item is, whether it is of leather or cloth), and recognize its binding, then announce its matter to the people for a year. If its owner is found, give it to him; if not, then take it for yourself." Then the man said: "If a stray goat is found, O Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him?" The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The goat will benefit you, or your brother, or the wolf will eat it." Then the man said: "If a stray camel is found?" The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "What concern do you have with the camel? It has its water with it, and its shoes with it; wherever it finds water, it drinks, and whatever tree it finds, it eats, until its owner finds it."

It is narrated from Hazrat Muawiyah bin Abdullah that his father stated that he found a pouch containing eighty (80) dinars at a stop on the road to Syria, where people had dismounted. He reported this to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Announce it at the doors of the mosques, and inform anyone who comes from Syria, for one year. When a year has passed, then you have the choice (regarding it).

It is narrated from Nafi that a man found a lost item (luqata), brought it to Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), and asked: What do you say about this matter? Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) said: Ask the people and announce it. The man said: I have already asked and announced. Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) said: Do it again. The man said: I have already asked and announced. Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) said: I will never order you to eat it; if you wished, you would not have taken it.
