Question
A mother exchanged her more expensive gold ring for her son's lesser expensive gold ring. Now, after some years she wants the son to return her ring. She will give his ring back to him. Is this permissible?
Answer
This deal is a sale. The one ring was sold for another ring. It is not a gift. If the gold weight of the two rings differ, then the exchange-sale was riba and haraam. It has to be compulsorily cancelled. If the weights are the same, then it is not permissible for the mother to demand return of the ring. Nevertheless, the son who is an adult, should please his mother by accepting her request. There is immense thawaab for keeping one‟s mother happy.
