The mother’s disposition of her son’s gifts to his siblings
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I give my mother special gifts that I set aside from my allowance, desiring to be dutiful to her and to do her good. Then my mother gives these gifts to my children, her sons and daughters. This bothers me greatly, and I am considering stopping these gifts because I think her reward is lost since they do not remain for her. What do you advise me to do? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
Continue giving to your mother and presenting gifts to her. She disposes of them as she sees fit. If you give her a gift, she disposes of it, and you do not restrict her. Do not restrict her, and do not be upset that she gives it to so-and-so or so-and-so. You did not give it to her except to please her, and part of pleasing her is that you leave it to her to dispose of it as she wishes. Yes.
