If a father gives to all his children, is it permissible for him to take back his gift?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh! A questioner says: If a father gives a gift to all his children equally, and they have taken possession of it, is it permissible for the father to take back his gift?

Answer:
Yes, the father has the right to take from his son's wealth, whether as a bequest or otherwise. It is permissible for him to take from his son's wealth, for [what is best] that you eat is from your earnings, and your children are from your earnings.
