If you have disposed of your father-in-law's money without his permission, you have betrayed a trust and committed a grave sin. You must repent, return the money to him, or seek his forgiveness.
However, if you took the money with his permission, it is a debt owed by you that must be repaid whenever you are able. If you are in straitened circumstances, he must grant you respite until your affairs become easier.
