Question

What is the ruling when a young man brings a significant sum of money that belongs to him to be kept for a fixed time, and his father does not want to return it to him?

Answer

It is not possible to answer without hearing the reason why the father does not want to pay. 

[Sometimes the father fears that the son will use the money to buy things that are harmful spiritually or physically, and wants to save the son. There may be other reasons].

In any case, it is advisable to consult a rabbi who knows the family, as he will be able to understand all the details of the story.
