Taking from the wife's mahr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on the wife's father or mother eating from their daughter's mahr, or providing for her? Sometimes they know that she has questions for them.
Answer:
As for the father, he may take from his daughter's mahr whatever he wishes, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) Sunan Ibn Majah 2290Sahih (Darussalam). So the father may take, but he should consider the daughter's situation. If she would be harmed, he should leave her something; he should leave her something from the mahr. As for anyone other than the father among her awliya, such as her brother or her son, and so on, they may not take from her mahr unless she is pleased with it, except with her consent and her being pleased.

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