Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a man has a father who has grown old and suffered from dementia, and the father has a salary, is it permissible for his son to spend from it on his father's house and give to his children from it?
Answer:
When a man suffers from dementia and no longer has his faculties, the court must be consulted to appoint a guardian over him. The guardian manages what is in his interests and preserves his wealth. Therefore, it is necessary to consult the court in this matter, and no one may dispose of his wealth except by the judge's permission. Yes.
