Filial piety is an obligation, and disobedience to parents is a grave sin. Describing a father as stingy is a form of disobedience. It is not permissible to give a father's money to the poor or others without his knowledge, even if it is for charity on behalf of the mother, because in such a case, the charity would not be accepted.
However, it is permissible for a mature daughter to give charity on behalf of her mother from her own money without her father's knowledge.
