Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible for a woman to be the guardian of her children's wealth except by the guardianship of their father or by appointment from the court. False testimony is forbidden and is one of the gravest major sins. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, warned against it. Furthermore, this testimony involves bestowing a right upon someone who does not possess it. Therefore, this testimony is impermissible.
