The ruling on a mother disposing of the gifts given to her newborn child
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Regarding the gifts presented to newborn children, is it permissible for the mother to dispose of them by giving them away, selling them, or doing something similar?
The gifts given to a newborn from the moment of his birth are his property. The mother does not have guardianship over her son while his father is present. Therefore, it is not permissible for her to dispose of them without her husband's permission. However, if he gives permission, there is no harm. Whether the newborn is a girl or a boy, the right to the wealth belongs to the father, not the mother.
