Prioritizing the maintenance of the wife and children over the maintenance of the parents
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the maintenance of the wife and children prioritized in our Shari'ah over the maintenance of the father and mother?
Answer:
Yes, because the wife is detained with the husband among the detainees and the detained women, whereas the parents are not detained. If they wish to leave the son and become independent of him, they have that right. As for the wife, she does not mix her spirit; she is detained with the husband. Yes.
