The answer

It is permissible for parents to revoke their gift to their child. The proof for this is the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "It is not lawful for a man to give a gift or a donation and then revoke it, except for a father regarding what he gives to his child. The example of one who gives a gift and then revokes it is like a dog that eats until it is full, then vomits, and then returns to its vomit." Based on this, it is permissible for a mother to revoke her gift to her children.
