Can a donor become donee also in gift Deed to minor son?

I am going to execute a gift Deed of a Flat and a commercial shop located in Mumbai to my minor son aged ten years and my wife (80% & 20% share). I am a Muslim.
.

2..If No then what's the remedy?
3.. Can any One donee sell the properties within minors under 18 years period or later when minor becomes major?

1. A donor cannot become a donee to the same gift.

2. As a natural guardian you can take care of minor donee property  till he becomes major by age 

 

3.  The donees can sell the property,  the guardian of minor child should obtain permission from court to sell minor's share in the property.

The property could be gifted to the minor. Father is the legal guardian for the property of the minor, according to the Muslim Law.

The legal guardian can alienate the immovable property of the minor 1

  1. When there are debts of the deceased, and no other source of paying them
  2. When the minor has no other means of livelihood and the sale is only way for his maintenance of the minor
  3. When double the price of property can be obtained by it,
  4. Where the expenses exceed the income of the property
  5. When the property is falling into decay
  6. When the property has been usurped and the guardian has reason to fear that there is no chance of fair restitution
  7. When there are legacies to be paid and no other means of paying them
