Is it permissible for a daughter to keep the money her father gave her for her son, which the son refused to take, and for her to spend from it on essential household needs, given that she is responsible for organizing household expenses, especially since the father did not inquire about the money's whereabouts?

You must return the money to your father as long as the son did not accept the gift. You are not permitted to dispose of it in any other way except with his explicit permission.
