Is it permissible to accept an item from someone with the condition that I can use it for however long, but when I wish to sell it the amount will be given to the one who gave the item?

In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful.

Answer

In the aforementioned scenario, it will be permissible to accept the item. This will be considered as a gift. However, the condition put by the individual will be considered annulled (baatil). This will not affect the legality of the gift.
