The father's financial maintenance of his children after divorce
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Umm Salih says: If you please, Shaykh, give some advice to the man who divorces his wife and then does not ask about his children afterward.
Answer:
His children are entitled to his financial maintenance until they grow up and become able to earn. Once they are self-sufficient, he owes them no maintenance, because they have become self-sufficient through the strength, effort, and earnings that Allah has given them. However, as long as they are in need and he has sufficient wealth, it is obligatory for him to provide for them.
