(There may be some grammatical and spelling
errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from

Answer:
Father does not
declare amount of property
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
Your
Question: …… he has bank balance & plots but he did not tell to us that we
have this much of amount in bank & this much plots we have is this right
way of my dad.
Respected brother, if your father has accumulated an
amount in the bank and has bought plots of land….he alone is the inherent owner
of his wealth and he is well within his rights to decide where and on whom he
chooses to spend his wealth. He is under
absolutely no obligation in Islam to declare or give an account of his wealth
to his off-spring!
As long as your father is alive, he will remain the
inherent owner of his wealth….it is only after his death that his legal heirs
will have their prescribed shares in the wealth left behind by him.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me
alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is
the Only Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
Burhan
