While it is not uncommon for parents to want to give their children everything they desire, many have debated where the line should be drawn between spoiling and overindulgence.
One social media user had this to say;
@lelibran:
How materialistic has our society come to? What teachings would we be imparting to our next generation based on Islamic principles and guidance?
@LeoKhan
Spoiling your child is one thing, but buying a luxury car for a five-year-old is just too much.”
