Do parents have the authority to do so? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>A.<\/strong> In principle, any items\/toys\/clothing purchased for or given to the child (non-Baaligh\/immature) becomes the sole ownership of the child. Hence, the decision of giving the items\/toys\/clothing of the child to another child, third person or in charity remains the decision of the child. The parents cannot make a decision on behalf of the child in normal circumstances. <strong>(Tabyeenul Haqaaiq 5\/96)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, in the case of the child\u2019s items\/toys\/clothing that cannot be used by the child and since the child does not possess the power to make such a decision, as the child is still immature to enact it, the parents may replace the old items\/toys\/clothing for the benefit of the child that are of no use with a reasonable value and then give the old items\/toys\/clothing on their own behalf in charity. <strong>(Fataawa Darul Uloom Zakariyyah 5\/563\/564)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, parents may consider not giving items\/toys\/clothing to the child as his\/her sole ownership; rather, parents may purchase it as their sole ownership and allow\/lend the child the items\/toys\/clothing. In this way, the parents will not have any difficulty in making a decision of giving or gifting to another child, a third person or in charity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allah Ta\u2019ala Knows Best<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mufti Ismaeel Bassa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>themufti.com<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can parents give away their children&#8217;s old clothing in charity?\u00a0 Q.
