Like domain in the registrar or the zone settings as well?

I do not understand between the two I am sorry.

Registrar is ownership of the domain whereas the zone settings are the Cloudflare configuration for it

I bought his domain under my registrar in my Cloudflare account so I suppose this is my ownership, thus registrar.

#

But I also suppose the zone settings as well because everything in terms of the domain name is under my account and I am about to make his Cloudflare account from scratch under his email address. That is why I think both registrar as well as zone settings.

You can move the domain between accounts but you can't move settings. Your best bet would be to use something like Terraform to save the settings then apply them one the new account.
Docs for moving domains between accounts: https://developers.cloudflare.com/registrar/account-options/inter-account-transfer/

Cloudflare Docs
Move a Cloudflare Registrar domain registration between accounts | ...

Cloudflare supports the move (transfer) of domain registrations between Cloudflare accounts when the source and target account both confirm the move. The move will result in the loss of all configurations and settings for the domain in the source account.

Alright, and can you give me examples what the settings are? You mean for example DNS settings?
