Salafs sayings

Abu ad-Dardaa narrated [Saheeh Muslim, No.6588]: The Messenger of Allaah said: «No believing servant supplicates for his brother behind his back (in his absence), except that the Angels say: "The same be for you too".»
al-Imaam an-Nawawee comments [Riyaadh as-Saaliheen #1494]: This hadeeth makes it evident that one who prays for someone in his absence also stands to benefit from it because the angel appointed for the task of praying for those who pray for others will pray for him, saying, "O Allaah! Grant him also the same which he has asked for others".

A Sisters Gift

 


Question:

My father has been dead for some time and we have a house in his name. We decided to sell the house and divide up the legacy, but one of my sisters wants to relinquish her right to me in order to help me marry - bearing in mind that she is (already) married and that she and her husband live comfortably. Is this permissible? Benefit me (with advice) and may Allaah benefit you.
Answer:

There is no sin if you accept this gift from your sister - which is her share of the house - in order to help you to marry, if she is of age. This is because the evidences from the Book (of Allaah) and the Sunnah prove that it is permissible for a woman to give a portion of her property to her near relatives and to others. Likewise, it is permissible for her to give charity, if she is of age. And Allaah is the granter of success.
