Is the Hadith, “You and your money belong to your father,” or “What the son possesses belongs to the father,” authentic, and does it permit the father to take his son’s money without his consent?
The hadith "You and your wealth belong to your father" does not signify absolute ownership, but rather a permissibility restricted by four conditions:
1. The father's taking of the wealth should not harm the son. 2. The wealth should not be tied to the son's essential needs. 3. The father should not take wealth from one son to give to another (unless the other is in need). 4. The father himself must be in need of the wealth.
