Disposing of the Social Security Funds of Minor Brothers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I am the guardian of my minor brothers, and they have financial entitlements from the social security. I spend on them throughout the year, but I do not keep a record of what I spend. Also, I have explained this to them, or rather, I have made it appealing to them. So when the social security payment comes, I take it and dispose of it. Is this permissible, given that they have no objection?
Answer:
They are minors, so they have no say. And the fact that they said they have no objection is of no value, because they are minors and have no say. It is obligatory for you to preserve their rights, spend on them from it according to their need, and save the rest for them. Yes.
