Is it permissible, in Islamic law, to secretly take money from one's father to cover the expenses of hair loss treatment, especially given the father's refusal to spend on his son's treatment?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is impermissible to take money from the father without his knowledge for hair treatment because it is not a necessity, and because the basic principle is the inviolability of a Muslim's wealth unless it is given willingly, and this includes the father's wealth. Also, the majority of scholars hold that the expenses of an adult son capable of earning a living are not obligatory upon the father.
