Assalamualaikum,
I wanted to give lip balm to a child some time ago but when her mother saw she told me not to saying that he would not even use it and after playing with it for a few days will forget about it. Then I secretly told the child that I would give it to him at a later time. Is it mandatory for me to give him a similar thing? Please guide me.
الجواب وباللہ التوفیق
It is Wajib to fulfill the promise provided it is not related to a sin or damaging to someone. If the restriction by the mother is on the basis it to be detrimental for the child or against his training then you should not fulfill it rather you should tell him and give him some alternative.
واللہ اعلم بالصواب
