Until what age is a father obligated to provide for his children?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, up to what age must one provide for his sons? Is it only until they reach maturity? Until they become self-sufficient?

Answer:
Provide for them if they are not self-sufficient. If your son is fifty years old but is poor and unable to work, you are obligated to provide for him.
