Question
Is it permissible for a father to take from his son's wealth without his permission? And how do we understand the hadith of the Prophet (peace be upon him): 'You and your wealth belong to your father'?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: This hadith is not acted upon according to its apparent meaning by the jurists due to the opposition of definitive texts regarding individual ownership, and it is not permissible for a father to take anything from his son's wealth without his permission, and God knows best.
