The questioner : The Shaykh :
The Shaykh :Sunan Ibn Majah 2291Sahih (Darussalam)
The questioner : in earnings, which was mentioned in the authentic collection
The Shaykh : That is another hadith
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: Okay
The questioner : The interpretation of the hadith, O Shaykh, does the father have the right to take his son's wealth, even if the father is not in need, while the son may be in need for marriage or starting out or otherwise?
The Shaykh : Yes, the interpretation of the hadith is that if he needs it, it is clear
The questioner : No, it is not clear
The Shaykh : You...
The questioner : And: Hehehehe
The Shaykh : You and your wealth belong to your father, I made a mistake
The Shaykh : You and your wealth belong to your father, if he needs your wealth, yes. But for him to be extravagant at the expense of his son's wealth, and at the same time to be stingy with his son, this is injustice and is not permissible. Yes, but here is a note: we do not say this to favor the sons over the fathers, but I want to mention that a son may be wealthy and have plenty, and his father may be the same. If his father asks him for money and he is not in need of it, and the son is able to provide it, then he must do so.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : I understood this
The questioner : Yes, I understood
The Shaykh : And this is different from that, it is clear
Another questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Glory be to You, O Allah, and by Your praise, I bear witness that there is no god but You
The questioner : I seek Your forgiveness and I repent to You
You and your wealth are from the earnings of your father
أنت ومالك من كسب أبيكThe Shaykh :
You and your wealth belong to your father.
أنت و مالك لأبيكThe questioner :
You and your wealth belong to your father
أنت ومالك لأبيكThe Shaykh : That is another hadith
The best earnings are the earnings of a man from the work of his hands, and your children are from your earnings
أطيب الكسب كسب الرجل من عمل يديه و إن أولادكم من كسبكمThe questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: Okay
The questioner : The interpretation of the hadith, O Shaykh, does the father have the right to take his son's wealth, even if the father is not in need, while the son may be in need for marriage or starting out or otherwise?
