The Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) hadith, “You and your wealth belong to your father”: Does this imply that the father has the right to take from his son’s wealth and give it to his needy brothers?

The questioner : Shaykh, regarding the morning, we asked, but it may need some possible details the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : I mean, to what extent does this apply? For example, the father might ask the daughter...
Another questioner: Peace be upon you.
The questioner : And peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. I mean, he takes from her wealth and gives it to his family, for example, to the second brother. He takes from this man’s wealth and gives it to his other brothers.
The Shaykh : The father?
The questioner : The father takes from his wealth, meaning...
The Shaykh : From his son’s wealth and gives it to his other sons. Yes, and they are in need?
The questioner : The questioner did not specify, meaning...
The Shaykh : And peace be upon you. Yes?
The questioner : The questioner did not specify, but assuming...
The Shaykh : No, if they are not in need, he does not do this. Rather, it is the need that justifies him taking from one of his wealthy children to meet the needs of those who are in need.
Another questioner: ... but he grew up in one of the Islamic groups present in Egypt, and after a period of time... the group had some deviations from the Shari'ah, so he learned some of them from the Book and from books, then he turned to another group for reasons, then to another, and so on, until he finally found a way out of the groups when those who were more knowledgeable than him told him that he must be a student of knowledge. However, circumstances prevented him from being with those who guided him to the right path, and he sends you these questions.
