Q: I have received money from family for my children who are still minors. Can I use this money that was given specifically in their names to buy nappies, clothes and other items for their use?
A: Yes.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
فالأصل أن نفقة الإنسان في مال نفسه صغيرا كان أو كبيرا (هداية 2/445)
