The questioner : The questioner says: I have two brothers on my mother’s side, and they have a workshop from their father. Is it permissible for the brother on the mother’s side to take anything from it, if he was given something by the two brothers beforehand, or does he not take anything from it?
The Shaykh : If this workshop belongs to the father, but he gave it to the two sons only for the purpose of working in it, then it is not permissible for their brother or anyone else to take anything from it, because it is not their property. However, if their father gave them this workshop as a gift of ownership, so that it is their property, and they are of an age where they are permitted to dispose of their property and make gifts, then if they give something from it to their brother on their mother’s side or to anyone else, there is nothing wrong with it, because they are the owners and are permitted to dispose of their property and make gifts. Yes.
