Question:
If you take something from the belongings of my father, my uncle, my aunt, my grandfather, or my grandmother without their knowledge, what is the ruling for me? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The ruling is that this is not permissible. It is not permissible for a person to take anything from another person's wealth, whether that person is a relative or not, except with his permission. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "The wealth of a Muslim is not lawful except by his willing consent." And Allah the Exalted says:[Al-Baqarah 2:188] [An-Nisa 4:29] Is it not the case that taking a person's wealth without his permission is not permissible except in what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has granted a dispensation for? As for the matter of a woman whose husband does not give her enough maintenance, and she takes from his wealth: the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted a dispensation to Hind bint 'Utbah to take from Abu Sufyan's wealth what suffices her and her children, because she told the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that Abu Sufyan is a stingy man who does not give her what suffices her and her children in a good manner. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Ibn Majah 2293Sahih (Darussalam), because this is her right and she did not transgress against him in it. However, if the husband is providing maintenance and is fulfilling the obligation of maintenance, it is not permissible for her to take anything from his wealth except with his permission. Likewise, the wealth of other relatives and other people is not lawful except with their permission, except for what a father takes from his child's wealth. A father may take from his child's wealth what does not harm him and what he does not need, because the child and his wealth belong to his father, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. And he said: Mishkat al-Masabih 2770 Yes. May Allah reward you with good.

And do not consume one another's wealth unjustly
وَلَا تَأْكُلُوا أَمْوَالَكُم بَيْنَكُم بِالْبَاطِلِO you who have believed, do not consume one another's wealth unjustly but only [in lawful] business by mutual consent
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَأْكُلُوا أَمْوَالَكُم بَيْنَكُم بِالْبَاطِلِ إِلَّا أَن تَكُونَ تِجَارَةً عَن تَرَاضٍ مِّنكُمْTake what is sufficient for you and your child, on a reasonable basis.
خذي ما يكفيك وولدك بالمعروفThe pleasantest things you enjoy come from what you earn, and your children come from what you earn
صلى الله عليه وسلم إن أطيب ما أكلتم من كسبكم، وإن أولادكم من كسبكم.
