If the guardian gives money to a boy and he buys firecrackers with it, is he ruled to be a spendthrift?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: You mentioned that the guardian gives money to the boy, and if he buys firecrackers with it, you said he is still a spendthrift.
The Shaykh:
If he wastes it without benefit, like food, like drinking sweets and eating this, that is not good management. That is why, when he reaches maturity, money is not given to him.
The questioner:
Then he says, may Allah preserve you: Is it permissible to buy what is called fireworks, which bring joy to the children?
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible. If he drinks them, food toys, fireworks, that is not good management.
