The answer

Your sister does not have the right to revoke her gift, and you are not obligated to return the gold piece or its value, according to the : "It is not lawful for a man to give a gift and then take it back, except for a father in what he gives to his child." There is also the consensus of scholars that it is not permissible to revoke a gift given to a (unmarriageable kin) relative, except for a father in what he gives to his child.
