Ruling of the Commodities Bought from Immature
Issue No.1777- If a person buys something from a child who is not mature, or sells something to him, the transaction is void, and he should give the commodity or the money that he has taken from the child to its owner, not to the child himself. In case if he does not know the owner, and also has no means to identify him, he should give it, with the permission of the Mujtahid or his representative, to an indigent person. If it belongs to the child himself, he should give it to his legal guardian. Of course, he can take back the money or the commodity that he has given to the minor, but if it has perished, he cannot claim its substitute.
