Parents taking child’s money when they are in need

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: My parents had given my brother some pocket money which he had collected and saved till it was 900. Then financial problems came and my parents took my brothers money and used it and my brother could not tell them anything. Now he demands for the money to be returned. My parents say that it was we who gave you the money, so there is no loan upon us. What should be done?

Bismillaah

A: If the parents had taken it when they were really in need and they had taken it to the extent of need then it is permissible.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
