Must I return the gold bracelet to my husband’s mother, knowing that it was counted as part of my dowry and my husband gifted it to me?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The husband's mother has no right to reclaim the bracelets that the husband gave to his wife, whether they were a mahr (dowry) or a gift. Once a gift is taken possession of, it cannot be reclaimed, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "It is not permissible for anyone to give a gift and then take it back, except a father regarding what he gives to his child."
