Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect him):
The mere act of transferring money does not make it the property of another person; thus, possession is not established merely by the transfer. There is no difference in this regard between minors and adults, unless the transfer is in exchange for work (for example, if the transferred money is a monthly salary). In the case of a minor, the work must be done with the permission of the guardian, and the possession must be on behalf of the guardian.
