His father takes the monthly stipend he receives from the institute, so what is your guidance?

Question:
I am a student studying at one of the scientific institutes in the Kingdom. It is well known that every month we receive a stipend of three hundred and fifteen riyals. When I return home, my father takes it from me on the pretext that he needs it, even though his salary is more than seven thousand riyals per month. If I do not give him the amount, he gets angry and says to me, "You and your wealth belong to your father." Nevertheless, I have older brothers who are employed and he does not take anything from their salaries. Please guide us, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Yes, the father has a right, without doubt. He may take from his son's wealth what does not harm him, meaning what does not harm the son and what the son does not need. So, if your father is providing for your maintenance and what you need, he may take your stipend, or your salary, or take from it. However, if he is not providing for your maintenance and is not meeting your needs, it is not permissible for your father to take the stipend and leave you in need and in dire necessity for this amount. He should not take it except in two cases. The first case is if he is providing for your needs or requirements and you are not in need of this amount, then he may take it. The second case is if this is in excess of your needs. If he is not spending on you and is not meeting your needs, but this is what is surplus to your needs—you buy your necessities from it and request things from it—then if he wants to take the excess. Yes. May Allah reward you with good.
