Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The presenter:
Abu Thani from al-Hafar al-Batin, please, Abu Thani.
The questioner:
Peace be upon you.
The presenter:
And upon you be peace.
The Shaykh:
Peace.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
May Allah welcome you.
The questioner:
I have three questions, if you would be so kind, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
My first question, may you live long, is that I have children, and my son is an orphan. They have a pension, and they have pensions from the retirement fund. The money came to me, and I have the money now. Do I distribute it to their grandmother? Does anyone have a right to it? Can we dispose of it? I am their guardian; I have guardianship over them. Do I have the right to dispose of it with them?
The presenter:
We will hear the answer.
The Shaykh:
No, my brother, do not dispose of it. Keep it for them. Keep it for them until they grow up.
The questioner:
Is the time a matter or not?
The Shaykh:
My brother, keep it for them. Do not take anything from it. Keep it for them, and when they grow up.
The questioner:
You say that I ate it, and you hold me accountable. I said, the Shaykh prevented me. He says I have no answer.
The presenter:
We will hear the answer, my brother.
The Shaykh:
We have answered you, my brother. Keep it. You are a trustee, a custodian over it. Keep it until they grow up. When they grow up and reach the age of maturity and are of sound mind, pay it to them.
