Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If a son participates with his father in building a house, is it permissible for him to ask his father to write down for him the amount of money he paid toward the construction of this house?
Answer:
There is no doubt that what a son gives to his father is a right his father has over him, and it is permissible for the father to take from his son's money, even if the son does not agree. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Ibn Majah 2290Sahih (Darussalam) However, if a son enters into a partnership with his father in a trade, in building a house, or in anything else, and they conclude a partnership contract regarding it, then they are bound by the terms upon which Muslims have agreed.

You and your wealth belong to your father,
أنت ومالك لأبيك،The best of your provision is what you earn, and your children are part of what you earn.
آخر إن أطيب ما أكلتم من كسبكم، وإن أولادكم من كسبكم،
