Is it permissible for parents to spend the money of their children?

Is it permissible for parents to spend the money of their non-baligh child?

It is permissible for the father to spend the money if it is not detrimental to the child. As for the mother, she does not have the right to spend the child’s money without the permission of the father or paternal grandfather. However, she may do so if either of them gives permission and it is not detrimental to the child. But it is not permissible for either parent to spend the money if the consequences are harmful to the child. Instead, they must save the money for the child until they are older.
