The questioner : regarding the ruling on entrusting wealth to children?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible to entrust wealth to children, but they may ruin it. In any case, what is customary must be provided; this is an expense. This falls under the category of spending. For example, suppose a student goes out for a break; he is given one or two riyals, depending on the situation. It is better not to give it to him if he has no reason for it. If you give it to him out of fear that he will ruin it, that has a reason. But the original ruling is that it is not given.
