Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener: (H. B. Abu Sa'id), a letter containing a collection of questions, one of which says: Does a father have the right to take his son's wealth and property on the grounds that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:?
Answer:
Yes, he may take from his son's wealth, from his son's wealth, whatever he wishes, provided that he does not harm his son,, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Ibn Majah 2290Sahih (Darussalam); but he does not have the right to harm him. Rather, it is obligatory for him to leave him what is sufficient for him. If he has descendants and a wife, likewise, he must leave him what is sufficient for him, his wife, and his children; because of his (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: Sunan Ibn Majah 2340Da'if (Darussalam), Sunan Ibn Majah 2340Da'if (Darussalam), so he does not have the right to harm his child.
As for if his child has no one else, and he takes his wealth and then spends on him; there is nothing wrong with that. But it is better for the father to handle matters in a way that does not make his children hate him, dislike him, and wish for his demise. He should be mindful of their feelings, and not covet their wealth. Rather, he should take what he needs, taking from their wealth what does not harm them, in what he needs.
As for intentionally harming them, that is not permissible for him. Rather, he must leave them what they need, especially if they have children, if they have a wife, he must leave them what is sufficient, and not cause the disruption of their affairs and harm to them, because of his (peace and blessings be upon him) saying:Sunan Ibn Majah 2340Da'if (Darussalam). Yes.
