A mother asking for an amount exceeding her need
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Excellency the Shaykh, the questioner says: My mother gets angry if I do not give her an amount in addition to the sum she takes from me and my brothers each month, which is more than she needs. I am in need of this amount to pay off my debts and manage my affairs. Is it obligatory for me to give her everything she asks for? Please advise us. May Allah reward you.
Answer:
Matters are based on mutual understanding. So explain to her your need, that you have debts, and that you cannot afford more than this amount. Ask her for forgiveness, and I do not think that, if Allah wills, she will insist on forcing you after you have convinced her and explained your situation to her. She does not wish harm for you. Yes.
