A father spending from his daughter's reward and preventing daughters from marriage
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I have a daughter who receives her salary, which is five hundred riyals, and I spend it on myself without her knowledge. Is this action permissible for me?
The Shaykh:
If she does not need it and there is no harm to her, then it has no meaning. You and your wealth belong to your father. If there is no harm or annoyance to her, you may take it and spend it on yourself and on her. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a Muslim to give away all his wealth in charity?
The Shaykh:
But be aware that there are people who refuse to marry off their daughters for the sake of the salary, so that they keep it to invest in and let the time pass for them. This is the forbidden prevention (i'dal), and it is one of the major sins. If he prevents her and stops her from getting married, this is prevention (i'dal), so it is forbidden, and his guardianship over her is dropped and transfers to someone else who looks after her interests. As for preventing her for the sake of the salary, this is forbidden for him, and it is a great matter that causes his guardianship over her to be dropped. Yes.
