Return in charity and fairness between children

This third part of the chapter on hiba (the gift) completes the survey of the obstacles to return (ruju') among the Shafi'is and the Hanbalis, then addresses the valid formulas of return, the ruling on charity (sadaqa) given and then regretted, and the rules of fairness between children, wives and other relatives. It then covers the gift of the discerning boy, the gift with counter-value, and the donor's capacity of disposition. The positions of the four schools are reported with their Quranic and prophetic evidences, their takhrij numbers and classical references.
