Information for "MuwataMalik-017-001-34897"

Malik related to me from Ibn Shihab from Said Ibn AlMusayab that Uthman Ibn Affan said; If someone gives something to his small child who is not old enough to look after it himself; and in order that his gift might be permitted he makes the gift public and has it witnessed; the gift is permitted; even if the father keeps charge of it. Malik said; What is done in our community is that if a man gives his small child some gold or silver and then dies and he has it in his own keeping; the child has none of it unless the father set it Aasi de in coin or placed it with a man to keep for the son. If he does that; it is permitted for the son.
