Using one's fathers money without his permission to start a business

· 27 Jumada II 1446 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

My father keeps his money in my bank account, which mainly comes from monthly shop rent approximately 14 lakhs in total till now.

I used 1.5 lakhs rupees out of those 14 lakhs without my father's permission and started a business which was pretty successful. After a couple of months I put the amount back.

So my question is that the profit that I earned, is it halaal or haraam and should I continue this business?

Answer

You should inform your father of what you had done. If he consents to what you had done, then you can keep the profit, otherwise, give it out in charity without the intention of receiving any reward.

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