Hadith, what is the authenticity of the hadith, O sheikh: "You and your wealth belong to your father," and does the child's wealth belong to the father?
Regarding the statement of the Prophet ﷺ: "You and your wealth belong to your father," this hadith was narrated from the Prophet, peace be upon him, by a group of the sahaba. It was narrated by Umar and Abdullah ibn Umar, and also by Aisha and Abdullah ibn Mas'ud.
And it was narrated by Jabir and Ubayy ibn Umar. Imam Ahmad and Ibn Majah narrated from Amir ibn Shu'ayb, from his father, from his grandfather, that the Prophet ﷺ said to a man.
He said to a son, "You and your wealth belong to your father." It was also narrated by Abdullah ibn Mas'ud.
It is narrated by Ibrahim from Alqama from Abdullah ibn Mas'ud. It was also narrated by Aisha, narrated by Ibrahim from Al-Aswad from Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her.
It was narrated by Jabir, narrated by Sa'id ibn Al-Musayyib from Umar ibn Al-Khattab. It was also narrated by Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him.
These narrations indicate that the hadith is a foundation, even if each one individually is not free from flaws, they still have a basis. As for the meaning in his ﷺ statement: You and your wealth belong to your father.
The intended meaning is not ownership or domination, so that a person can do whatever he wants even if it harms his child, but rather that he may benefit from his child's wealth.
Just as he benefits from his child himself, by commanding, forbidding, honoring, and showing kindness. Likewise, he may benefit from his wealth, because people are cautious.
They avoid taking from others' wealth without their permission, even if it is just a miswak stick.
As for the child, there is no problem for the father to eat from his child's wealth.
For example, eating food or using clothing or similar things without asking permission.
This means that there is no blame in this matter, and this is the most apparent from the texts, and this is supported and indicated by them.
The father does not have the right to take or seize his son's wealth after his death; rather, Allah the Mighty and Majestic has decreed for him only one-sixth.
So if after his death he only gets one-sixth, then during his lifetime in this matter, this is even more apparent in the chapters.
In the chapters about restriction and not seizing everything.
That is why we say he may benefit without harming the son, but it should be done in a reasonable manner, but it should be.
In a reasonable manner, just as the son must obey his father if he commands him to go or come.
So he benefits from what he gives, and likewise with his wealth, he may take without asking permission, but it should be done in a reasonable way.
Based on this, we say that if the father takes from his son, he does not need to ask his son's permission or seek his approval, as long as it is done in a reasonable way.
This applies, for example, to a small amount of money and similar things that do not cause harm, so this.
There is nothing wrong with that. Likewise, we say that what applies to the child also applies to his father, showing that it is appropriate.
For the child to hasten to show kindness to his father from his wealth, for it is from his own earnings, and likewise his wealth is also from his own earnings. And Allah knows best.
