The answer

If the money given to the daughter after her mother's death constitutes financial entitlements belonging to the mother, then it is an inheritance to be divided among the heirs. However, if it is a gift from the employer, then it belongs to whomever the granting entity designates. The father is permitted to take from his child's wealth under certain conditions, and it is obligatory for a wealthy child to financially support their impoverished father. It is recommended to honor one's father and spend on him if he is poor, and to associate with him with kindness, even if he is a disbeliever.
