Chapter on Endowments, Charity, and Gifts

Al-Husayn ibn Sa'id narrated from Al-Nadr, from Al-Qasim ibn Sulayman, from Ubayd ibn Zurara, who reported from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, that he said regarding a man who gave charity to his children who had reached maturity: "If they do not take possession of it before his death, then it becomes inheritance. But if he gives charity to his minor children, it is permissible because the parent manages their affairs." Imam عليه السلام also said: "One should not take back a charity once it has been given sincerely for the sake of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic."
