Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. He says: My mother gives me what she saves from her money with the intention that I want to get married, and I am a student. My father refuses this and takes all her money on the pretext that he has a debt, and because of her, he married again and did not marry me off. Is it permissible for my mother not to give him any of the money? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Her money is hers, and it is not permissible for your father to consume anything except what she has permitted. As for marriage, it is an obligatory right for his father. If you are unable to get married, it is obligatory for your father to provide for you from his wealth, because this is among the rights that are obligatory upon him. Yes.
