Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a father to sell something from the property of one of his sons, or is it not permissible?

Answer:
It is permissible for a father to take from his son's money what does not harm him and what he does not need, if these properties contain a surplus and an excess beyond the son's need. In that case, there is nothing wrong with the father taking from them and taking ownership of them, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
You and your wealth belong to your father,أنت ومالك لأبيك،
and his saying (peace and blessings be upon him)
The best of your provision is what you earn, and your children are part of what you earn.إن حق ما أكلتم من كسبكم، وإن أولادكم من كسبكم.
Sunan Ibn Majah 2290Sahih (Darussalam)
As for if these properties are needed by the son for his necessities and needs, it is not permissible for the father to confiscate them or take them, as the son needs them, or taking them would harm him. Yes.
