The mother’s charity from her profits and her borrowing from her children
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: My mother is a partner with us, and she gives away all of her profits as charity, then she borrows from her children for her needs. Is it better for her if we give her from her capital in the partnership so she can eat from it, or if she eats from what she borrows from her children?
Answer:
It is better for her not to give charity except with what is in excess of her needs, and not to be stingy with herself. So, whatever is in excess of her needs, she should give it as charity. And if you give her something from your wealth, you are being dutiful to her in the sense of dutifulness to parents, which is a good thing. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh
