Financial support for a father who spends money on tobacco
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: My father does not work and asks me for an allowance, and I give him what I can afford, but he is not satisfied with what I give him. I know for certain that the amounts I give him, he spends on tobacco and other forbidden things. What is obligatory for me in this case?
Answer:
His right is obligatory upon you. If he has no income, you must support him according to your ability and advise him against using tobacco. You should say to him: I do not allow you to spend this money on tobacco. If you spend it, it is on your responsibility, and you are accountable for it, while I am innocent of it. So, warn him of Allah and advise him. Yes.
