The ruling on lying to one's father regarding the amount of the salary if he is going to take it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Umm 'Abd al-Muhsin says: The truth is, she has a question about lying. She says: Lying to the father in the case of receiving the salary. It seems she is a teacher or an employee. She says: I do not tell him the actual amount for fear that he will take the entire salary, because I need the money. So, am I sinful for this lying?

Answer:
If he asks you, it is obligatory to tell the truth. You tell him that, and you also tell him that you need some things, so you must provide an amount for your personal needs. You convince him of this, and I do not think, if Allah wills, that he will refuse or take everything you have and harm you. The father has the right to take from his child's money what does not harm the child and what the child does not need, meaning within limits. Yes, he does not have the right to take everything you have and leave you in need. Rather, he leaves you enough money for your needs. Yes.
