Is it permissible for a father to seize his son's money, citing the Hadith: "You and your wealth belong to your father," knowing that the son is in need of the money, while the father and his brothers are financially secure?

The majority of scholars hold that a father is not entitled to take from his son's wealth without his consent, except to the extent of his need. The Hanbalis, however, are of the view that a father may take from his son's wealth even if he is not in need, provided that he does not cause undue hardship or harm to his son's wealth, and does not take from one son's wealth to give to another son. Accordingly, if the father is not in need of the money and the son is, the father has no right to what he has taken. The son should ask the father for the taken money gently and kindly, while being careful to show him piety and goodness.
