\n\tQuestion<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAssalamualaikum Mufti saab,<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn England, child benefit is afforded to the parents of the children. Who would be the recipient of it (as it is afforded to any one of the parents if they apply)? Will it be permissible for the parent to use, or must it be only used on the child?<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn general, children can own wealth, and it can be placed in the care of the parents to look after and spend on their children’s needs. It would then need to be returned to the child, who is the rightful owner when they are old enough. This is due to Allah (swt)’s saying:<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t“Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due.” (Surah An-Nisa, Verse 58)<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tChild benefit is not a gift to children but it is a benefit to enable parents to cope with the additional costs of bringing up children. It is money given to the parents to offset the cost associated with having a family, such as food, clothing and housing.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tThis benefit takes into consideration the number of children in the family.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe money is not given in the ownership of the children, but rather to the parents to take care of their family. According to Islam, it is the duty of the father to provide for his family, and if he requires aid from the State, there is no problem with that.[1]<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
