What is the ruling of the Shari'ah regarding a son taking from his father's wealth without his knowledge, or the reverse?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : What is the ruling of the Shari'ah regarding a son taking from his father's wealth without his knowledge, or the reverse? Please inform us, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : As for a son taking from his father's wealth without the father's knowledge, it is not permissible; it is forbidden for him. As for a father taking from his son's wealth if he is in need of it, it is permissible, based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): If the father is in need of his son's wealth, he takes it, because as he said (peace and blessings be upon him) in another hadith: So, if the father takes from his son's wealth without his permission, it is permissible, but not the reverse.
Yes.
The questioner : Without his knowledge and that of his dependents? Does the son not fall under the right of his mother in this case?
The Shaykh: No.
The questioner : I just wanted to clarify.
The Shaykh : The father is responsible for his son, and the husband is responsible for his wife. If the husband falls short in his rights toward his wife, it is permissible for her to take from his wealth in a good manner without his knowledge, so the matter differs.

أطيب الكسب كسب الرجل من عمل يده ، وإنَّ أولادكم مِن كسبكمYes.
