A father taking from his daughter's mahr and his son's wealth

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Then Shaykh Abu 'Abdullah asked: Is it permissible for a father to take from his daughter's mahr without her son's consent?

The Shaykh:
Yes, it is permissible for a father to take from his daughter's mahr and from his son's wealth, provided that the son or daughter is not harmed by it. If taking from her mahr harms her, then it is not permissible.

Another questioner:
As for if...

The Shaykh:
If it does not harm her, there is no objection. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The best of your provision is what you earn, and your children are part of what you earn.إن أطيب ما أكلتم من كسبكم وإن أولادكم من كسبكم
Sunan Ibn Majah 2290Sahih (Darussalam)
, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
You and your wealth belong to your father.أنت ومالك لأبيك
. There is no objection to this.

Another questioner:
All right, give me the water, Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
He gives her the mahr, and it is permissible for him to take from it for himself whatever does not harm the daughter. There is no harm in that. Yes.
