Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The listener, Rahab from Yemen, says in her question: Her father only provides for their essential needs, but she may need some other expenses. Is it permissible for us to take from our father’s money without his knowledge?
The Shaykh:
If he is short in providing for you and you find something of his money, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Take what suffices you and your child in a proper manner.” A woman came to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, “So-and-so is a stingy man, meaning her husband, who does not give me what suffices me and my child.” He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 2293Sahih (Darussalam) Yes.
The questioner:
This is specific to the mother, but what about the daughter? Is it permissible for her to take from her father’s money?
The Shaykh:
No. Yes.

May Allah bless you.
