Question

My son is 15 years old. At what age should I give my son the mobile phone? Since the situation in Pakistan is not very stable, so out of necessity I feel I will have to give it to him in future (when he is out of home).

Answer

After he is married and settled you can give him.

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