The answer

If a father abstains from spending what is obligatory on his poor and needy children, then they may take from his money what suffices them, in a reasonable manner, without his knowledge. However, if he does not withhold from them what suffices them, or if they are self-sufficient and do not need the maintenance, then it is not permissible for them to take from his money without his consent.
