Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. I have memorized a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that says, "You and your wealth belong to your father." Is this hadith authentic? Is it required that the parents be in need? Or is it obligatory to be moderate and treat them with kindness to the extent possible?

Answer:
The hadith is authentic, and the child and his wealth belong to his father, because the child is part of the father's earnings. So the father may take from his son's wealth and possess what does not harm the son and what the son does not need. As for what harms the son or what the son needs, it is not permissible for the father to be harsh with him regarding that.
