What If I give my other account to someone?
Since I can't send gift games to a friend from different region because of valve's policy,,
what if I makes another new account, buy more games, and then give it up to a friend with my new account's name and password so that they can play that games that I bought before?
And that account that I gave him will be permanently belong to him? is it okay?

Steam does not recognize the transfer of an account. Attempting to do so risk ALL accounts (all of your accounts) being terminated for violating the SSA

C. Your Account

When you complete Steam’s registration process, you create a Steam account ("Account"). Your Account may also include billing information you provide to Valve for the purchase of Subscriptions, Content and Services and any physical merchandise offered for purchase through Steam (“Hardware”). You may not reveal, share or otherwise allow others to use your password or Account except as otherwise specifically authorized by Valve. You are responsible for the confidentiality of your login and password and for the security of your computer system. Valve is not responsible for the use of your password and Account or for all of the communication and activity on Steam that results from use of your login name and password by you, by any person to whom you may have intentionally or by negligence disclosed your login and/or password in violation of this confidentiality provision. Unless it results from Valve’s negligence or fault, Valve is not responsible for the use of your Account by a person who fraudulently used your login and password without your permission. If you believe that the confidentiality of your login and/or password may have been compromised, you must notify Valve via the support form ( https://help.steampowered.com/en/ ) without any delay.

Your Account, including any information pertaining to it (e.g.: contact information, billing information, Account history and Subscriptions, etc.), is strictly personal. You may therefore not sell or charge others for the right to use your Account, or otherwise transfer your Account, nor may you sell, charge others for the right to use, or transfer any Subscriptions other than if and as expressly permitted by this Agreement (including any Subscription Terms or Rules of Use) or as otherwise specifically permitted by Valve.

I mean, my new account will become his belonging forever and I allow it to happen (the transfer of account),
I give it to him on purpose and I add "Legal games" into that account library..

And after that, he can use that account, maybe buy more games and use it as his 2nd account..
Maybe one thing that he has to do is changing region location and that's it...

I mean, I'm not doing fraud or give him illegal copies of games?

Did you not read what 999999 put above? Its not allowed under ANY circumstance
Valve is not responsible for the use of your account by a person who fraudulently use your login and password without your permission.

What If I give him my permission?

And I won't do it or sell it for money? I know selling account to people with money is illegal act and violates valve's policy

Keep reading...

Even if you would do it that way, it could be depended on the region you & your friend live, that games may be region locked and could only be played in the region the account was created/games where bought.
