The father taking his daughter's mahr without her consent

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener Hanan says: Is it permissible for a father to take his daughter's mahr without her consent?

Answer:
Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
You and your wealth belong to your father.أنت ومالك لأبيك.
The mother takes the same ruling as the father because she is one of the parents. Unless she is in no need of it and the daughter needs her mahr, in which case she should not take from her what would harm her. Yes.
