A father is not permitted to take from his son's money unless he is in need. If he takes it unjustly, the son may demand it back in a gentle manner. It is permissible to resort to the judiciary to claim one's right without this being considered an act of disobedience. Indeed, Ma'n ibn Yazid al-Sulami arbitrated before the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, concerning his father taking his money. This indicates the permissibility of arbitration between a father and his son. However, if the son forgives his father, that is better and more beloved to Allah.
