Is a child sinful if he takes money from his father without his knowledge for his need?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: My father passed away, and he did not give me any money, so I used to take from him without his knowledge when I was in need. What is obligatory for me now?

Answer:
If you were, as you mentioned, taking only what you needed, then you owe nothing. This is because it is obligatory for him to spend on you if you do not have money that makes you self-sufficient. It is obligatory for him to spend on you, so what you took was your right if you were in need of it.
