Mother in law taking daughter in laws jewellery
Question
Does a mother-in-law have a right over the son’s jewellery given to him from his wife’s parents on their marriage?
And does a wife have any rights over her husbands jewellery that her parents had only given? The mother-in-law has a lot of gold but also takes her daughter-in-laws gifts? Is it Islamically correct?
Answer
No
This is not permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
