The ruling on one who swears not to take his son's money while the son is in need of it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: My father swore not to take any money from me, and I know that he is now in dire need of money, and I want to be dutiful to him. Is it permissible for me to give this money to one of my relatives to pay it to him without his knowing that it is from me?
Answer:
No, the solution in this case is that he expiates for his oath and takes the money. He does not violate [the oath]; he expiates for his oath.[Al-Baqarah 2:224] Taking from his son's money is a matter of maintaining kinship ties and affection, so the oath does not prevent him from taking from his son's money, nor does the oath prevent him from what is lawful; he only expiates for his oath. That concludes it. Yes.

No, the solution in this case is that he expiates for his oath and takes the money. He does not violate [the oath]; he expiates for his oath.
And do not make [your oath by] Allah an excuse against being righteous and fearing Allah and making peace among people
وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا اللَّهَ عُرْضَةً لِّأَيْمَانِكُمْ أَن تَبَرُّوا وَتَتَّقُوا وَتُصْلِحُوا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ
