Gifting To Children
What is the ruling on gifts given to children?
Gifts to children are of two types: 1) gifts given to the parent or guardian for the ostensive purpose of benefiting the child, are the property of the parent or guardian (who is closest in relationship to the giver) who may use the gift in any manner they choose; and 2) gifts given directly to the child, in which case the child owns the gift and the parent or guardian (in the order of guardianship) keep it on the child’s behalf.
