Selling one's children's gold to purchase something for them

Q: My two small girls ages 5 and 6 were gifted 18 carat gold pendants. My husband wants to sell them to buy beds for them as our 9 year old is sleeping on the floor on a mattress.

I'm against it as I told him that it is not permissible to do so as this was gifted to them. He's refusing to listen and said to ask Mufti saheb the above. Please advise.

A: If it is purely for their good then it is permissible.

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