My relatives especially my in-laws call me Stingy/Miser, is this allowed in Islam? It is important to share the background with you, basically I believe Moderation as prescribed by Prophet (PBUH) and based on this Islamic value I refrain from buying branded things for myself & family, I am very particular about NOT taking any DEBTS to fulfill needs or desires.

My father is not practising Shia. My granddad told my dad to transfer £1,000 to me as a gift. My dad later told me he is going to keep it aside for me as savings which is under his full control (I can’t take however much I like from it). I want to know what Islam says. Is the money my right? If so, should I claim this right or give it up? I am almost 24 years old Muslimah.
