The Shaykh : Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The questioner : O Shaykh, I have a son who is 17 years old. His mother passed away when he was two years old, and now his uncle bought him a car.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : His uncle bought him a car.
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The questioner : And there was an accident, and then they asked for [money], and I currently have money for him that has been his from the beginning.
The Shaykh : For this boy.
The questioner : And he is not aware of this money.
The Shaykh : The boy is an orphan.
The questioner : No, the boy’s mother is the one who passed away, and then his car was involved in an accident, and the cost was two thousand riyals. Should I give him from this same money?
The Shaykh : I did not understand, I did not understand. Is this an orphan you have?
The questioner : I have an orphan.
The Shaykh : You have an orphan.

The Shaykh : The uncle, no, the boy.
The questioner : The boy is my son.
The Shaykh : Yes, you, give it to him, give it to him, give it to him from the money, there is nothing wrong with it.
The questioner : From this same money, because he has other brothers?
The Shaykh : Is it not his money?
The questioner : Except this money is his, but I... he is twenty years old, on the basis that I explain the money to him.
The Shaykh : No, no, give it to him, give it to him now. This, you must give it to him, because if you do not give it to him, the car will not be repaired.
The questioner : Should I give him all the money, or just a little at a time?
The Shaykh : No, give him only what he needs.
The questioner : Only what he needs.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Unless he reaches maturity and sound judgment.
