Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it permissible for a son to take money from his father if the son knows that the father earned this wealth from riba (usury or interest)?
The Shaykh : If the question intends that he take what he does not need, then in one word: it is not permissible for him to do so. However, if the son is living with his father under his care and protection, and he is eating from his father's wealth which he earns through a forbidden means, then it is permissible for him if he sets his intention to get rid of this wealth at the earliest time that is feasible for him; that is, from the perspective of dire necessity, and since his life is under his father's protection, it is permissible, otherwise it is not.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : We ask Allah to protect us from the devils of mankind and jinn.
