The question

Is it permissible for a daughter to take money from her mother, who is the sole provider but is restrictive in spending and does not give her daughter enough to meet her needs, to satisfy her needs and allow her to live as she wishes, and is this act forbidden and does it prevent the daughter's supplications from being answered?

The answer

If the father is poor or deceased, the wealthy mother is obligated to provide for her needy children. The daughter's maintenance continues to be her responsibility until she marries. If the mother provides for her daughter sufficiently according to what is customary, it is not permissible for the daughter to take from her mother's money without her permission. However, if she does not provide for her sufficiently, then the daughter may take from her mother's money without her permission what is customarily sufficient for her in terms of food, drink, clothing, and education. This is for necessities, not for luxuries.
