In matters of property, muslim personal law would not be applicable.
Purchasing a property in someone else’s name, can significantly complicate matters, not only for the buyer but also for the person in whose name the property is purchased, if the right formalities and legalities are not adhered to. It may also create problems in the future, during the sale of the property.

The sales consideration always comes in the registered person’s account and its recovery will be difficult. There may be a case of double taxation issues, as well.

it does not matter who pays for the home. The home always belongs to the person/people whose name(s) are mentioned in the sale deed/title documents.

If he can gift you the property, he can’t take it back …! However we need to see the gift deed to make sure it is gift deed ….also if he has gifted u his self acquired property than it has nothing to do with muslim shariat law …that is only applicable on children after the demise of their patents …
