Question

What age is best for a parent to give their child a phone?

Answer

The phone is such a disaster that it is a problem in the hands of an adult, let alone in the hands of a child.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
