Filial piety towards parents and being good to them is recommended due to the immense reward it entails. The majority of scholars hold that parents do not have the right to take their son's money except out of need, while some are of the view that it is permissible provided it does not harm the son and he is not in need of the money. Therefore, if the parents are not in need of the discount and the son is, then they have no right to take it.
