Question Summary:
Can I sell a gift?

Question Detail:

I would like to know if it is permissible according to the Quran and Sunnah to sell a gift. Gifts or complimentary items such as small durables and tickets as you know are received free, therefore will it be permissible for one to sell them?

Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

It is permissible to sell something that has been given to someone as a gift because when a person is given a gift, he becomes the owner of that item[1] and when a person owns something, he can do what he wishes with it[2].
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
