A r c h i v e s| Money Matters - Do I have to return the money.. | | Submitted by anonymous Answered by Rav Yehonoson Hool | | Question: | Answer: One who gives a gift when on good terms with the recipient cannot demand it back if subsequently he becomes his enemy. Even an ongoing financial
agreement, such as a real-estate rental, that was established when the landlord and the tenant were good friends cannot be cancelled by the landlord due to the tenant becoming unfriendly (Shulchan Aruch, Choshen
Mishpat, 312:9)

| Money Matters - Wedding Gift | | Submitted by Yosef Answered by Rav Yehonoson Hool | | Question: | Answer: If the receiver is a poor person, any declared intent to give him a gift would constitute a neder for tzedakah.
Even if the receiver is not poor, if one informs another that he intends to give him a gift, and the circumstances give him no reason to doubt you (e.g. the gift is not of significant value) one is obliged to keep one's word. One who does not so do is referred to in the Gemora as mechusar amonoh - untrustworthy. (Shulchan Aruch, Choshen Mishpot 241:2)
