Question:
If the father has many dependents and this son is their only source of income, then he has a right to it. How do you direct him? May Allah reward you with good.

The ruling is no different from what was mentioned before. He may take from his son up to the point where the son is not harmed, leaving the son enough to secure his needs, and to provide for his education and its requirements. As the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 2340Da'if (Darussalam).
