Is it permissible to take money from one's mother or siblings without permission or by force due to need, especially when the money is from the deceased father's inheritance and is under the mother's control?
It is not permissible to transgress against others' property unless there is a necessity, and the ruling varies according to the situation:
- If you have reached maturity and the mother refuses to divide the inheritance, then it is permissible for you to take from your father's inheritance an amount equivalent to your legal share. What you have taken will be deducted when the inheritance is divided, while ensuring not to mistreat the mother.
- It is not permissible to take from the property of siblings or the mother except with their consent.
- If you have not reached maturity, it is not permissible for you to take from the inheritance because it is under the guardianship of the guardian (the mother).
