Is there any blame on a son for asking his father for money?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: I am an employee, and I use my salary to pay off a debt I owe, but sometimes the amount is insufficient. My father has been made wealthy by Allah. Is it permissible for me to ask my father for some money?

Answer:
If it is from zakah, no; the father’s zakah is for his son. But if it is in the form of a gift or assistance, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
