The ruling on a father taking back his gift to his son

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a father takes back his gift, and his taking it back is not for the purpose of making a fair division, is he allowed to do so?

Answer:
He is allowed to do so. He has the right to take from his son’s wealth, even if he had not given him anything. He has the right to take from his wealth, whether it is what he gave him or something else. The son’s wealth is the father’s wealth, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
You and your wealth belong to your father.أنت ومالك لأبيك.
Yes.
