Is it permissible for a father to compel his employed sons to pay him a monthly amount from their salaries?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some fathers say to their employed sons, "Each of you must pay me a specific amount monthly." Is this amount obligatory for all the sons to pay?

Answer:
A father may take from his children's wealth whatever he wants, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
You and your wealth belong to your father.أنت ومالك لأبيك
. He may take it himself, because his children are his property. You and your wealth belong to your father. He may also impose amounts on them, because he is their father, they are his property, and their wealth is his property. Yes.
