The ruling on paying maintenance on behalf of a deserving relative

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Yes. He fasted, and there was a dispute between them, then he paid the maintenance on his behalf, and he was deserving of it, so should he be trusted in that?

The Shaykh:
It is not permissible. It is obligatory for him to give him from his wealth what Allah has given him, for this is part of the obligatory maintenance of family ties.
