Does the saying of the Prophet (PBUH): "You and your wealth belong to your father" include a working daughter with a good salary, even if her father is not in financial need and she is under his guardianship?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The Hadith includes both the son and the daughter, and this is indicated by the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Indeed, the best of what you eat is from your earning, and your children are from your earning." It is stipulated that there should be no clear harm to the child in this, due to the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "There should be no harm nor reciprocating harm," and that the parent should not take it excessively, but only out of need.
