How can one repent for making one's father look at a message that affected his spending, and how can one perform Ruqyah on the father's wealth after his death?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Children whose maintenance is obligatory upon their father have the right to take their necessities and needs from his wealth in a reasonable manner if he falls short in providing for them, even if it is without his knowledge, citing the hadith of Hind as proof. As for using "sihr al-atf" (magic of affection/sympathy), it is strictly forbidden, and it is prohibited to seek it or to approach anyone who performs it. Repentance from it is obligatory through remorse, a firm resolve not to return to it, and seeking forgiveness.
