The questioner:
The sender, Badr ibn Sa'ud from Hujrat 'Atiq, has two questions. In the first, he asks: Does a mother have any right to her daughter's marriage gift, or not? We have heard from some mothers that they say to their daughter, "I have a right to breastfeeding with you."
The Shaykh:
A mother has no right to her daughter's marriage gift, because the marriage gift is the right of the married woman, the right of the one to whom the marriage contract is made, except for what she willingly gives and permits to her mother or to someone else; there is no harm in that. Likewise, it is permissible for a father to take from his daughter's marriage gift and from his son's wealth what does not harm him and what he does not need, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) Yes.
The questioner:
This hadith does not include the mother.
The Shaykh:
The hadith was reported regarding the father: "You and your wealth belong to your father." However, the mother may be included in his sayingMishkat al-Masabih 2770 "from your earnings." Yes.
