Is the criterion for the relatives whose financial maintenance is obligatory upon you the one you inherit from or who inherits from you?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is the criterion for the relatives whose financial maintenance is obligatory upon you the one you inherit from or who inherits from you?

Answer:
Yes, that is not the case. If you inherit from him, you are not cut off from him; if he dies, you inherit from him, and you are required to provide for him, because Allah said regarding the fetus, and the heir is like that:
Upon the father is the mothers' provisionوَعَلَى الْمَوْلُودِ لَهُ رِزْقُهُنَّ
[Al-Baqarah 2:233]
meaning, provide for them and clothe them in a decent manner. Then He said, "and the heir is like that." Maintenance is obligatory in exchange for inheritance. Yes.
