Taking a son's belongings by his mother without his permission
A woman complains about her mother-in-law who takes items from her son's house, including personal things that the wife bought with her own money or her family's money, under the pretext of the saying: 'You and your wealth belong to your father.' What is the ruling on the actions of the mother-in-law?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: This hadith is not acted upon in its apparent meaning by consensus, and it is not permissible for the father and mother to take anything from their child's wealth without his permission, and God knows best.
