Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
My father asked me to help with my brother's marriage, but my father was extravagant in providing the mahr (bridal gift), he went to extremes, and he burdened me with debts. So, if I disobey him in this matter, is there a sin on me?
Answer:
Help him with what you are able to do. Help him with what you are able to do. And what you are not able to do, Allah has not burdened you with it. Yes.
