The research answers the following questions: What is the ruling on gifts for a newborn? What is the ruling on a mother's disposition of gifts for a newborn? The research adopted the comparative inductive approach by describing the issue, clarifying the point of the dispute, and presenting the opinions of scholars on this jurisprudential issue, with preference for the most plausible opinion. The research aims to: Reach a general understanding of the issue of a mother's disposition of gifts for a newborn, and clarify the limits of a mother's disposition of Gifts. Among the most important findings of this research is that gifts given at birth are subject to intent and custom. If the gifts are typically associated with the newborn, such as clothing and the like, then they are specific to the newborn. However, if they are financial gifts, such as money, gold, and the like, then if the intent is for the mother or the child, or whoever it is intended for, then they are for the newborn. If intent is not apparent, then custom is considered. The mother has the right to dispose of gifts for the newborn if she has a need, based on custom and tradition.
