Will my mother receive the reward for charity if she donates our clothes without our knowledge, or is that considered theft?
The mother is rewarded for her charity with some of her children's clothes if they are content and no harm results. The children also receive a reward for their participation. However, if they are not content, she should not do so. Yet, it is generally assumed that parents' disposal of their children's money is for their benefit. It is incumbent upon the children to be agreeable to what their mother takes, as this is part of showing piety towards her. This action is not considered theft Islamically.
