Summary
Differences of opinion between a child and parents should be handled with good manners and kind speech. The child is advised to explain the virtues of charity to the mother gently and to try to remove her confusion. The fatwa notes that charity, including clothing, carries great reward, and donating old clothes is linked in a hadith reported by Ibn Majah to Allah's protection in life and after death.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
