The ruling on saving one's salary without the father's knowledge

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner states that he is the eldest of his brothers, and that he and his brothers live with their father in one house. He says: I have children, and I give my salary to my father, and my father is the one who manages the affairs or spends on everyone in this house. Is it permissible for me, according to the Shari'ah, to save some of my salary without my father's knowledge for the sake of my young children? Please inform us, may Allah reward you.

Answer:
Yes, your salary is yours, it is your money, and you may save all of it or part of it. If your father asks for something from it, you give him what does not harm you. The father is entitled to take from his son's money what does not harm him and what he does not need. As for what would harm the son if taken, it is not permissible for the father to take it. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
