The ruling on allowing a brother who is in a dispute with his wife to enter her home

Question : I have a full brother whom his older brother used to declare a disbeliever, as he wrote. Then this brother mistreated his wife and his brother’s children, so they cut off their assistance to him and prevented him from entering their home. He then turned to me to eat from my home without permission. My husband got angry about that and said, “You are responsible for everything that comes out of my home without permission.” Do I have the right to give him food, since I cannot leave him without help for fear of him being lost? He does not find work, and I know that I work and have a salary of my own?

Answer : As for his entering his wife’s home, it is not permissible for her to let him enter without his permission as long as he has been prevented. As for her continuing to support him with money that belongs to her, there is nothing wrong with that.
