Selling one's children's gold to purchase something for them
Question
My two small girls ages 5 and 6 were gifted 18 carat gold pendants. My husband wants to sell them to buy beds for them as our 9 year old is sleeping on the floor on a mattress.
I'm against it as I told him that it is not permissible to do so as this was gifted to them. He's refusing to listen and said to ask Mufti saheb the above. Please advise.
Answer
If it is purely for their good then it is permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
