Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If my father is wealthy and I am a young man with a family, but I have not found suitable work for myself, do I have the right to demand that my father provide financial maintenance for me and my family as well?
Answer:
Yes, the financial maintenance of a relative is obligatory for him and for those whose expenses are his responsibility, such as his wife and his servant. And if the son is poor and has nothing and is unable to earn a living, then financial maintenance is obligatory for him.
