If she sees that he is lazy about work because she gives him money and he relies on what she gives him, then she should not give him in order to get him to go out and work. However, she should look after those under her care; if they are in need, she should give to them directly and not give to him, in order to get him to go out and work and earn a living. She should give to the needy without his knowledge and not give him anything as long as he is strong and capable, in order to get him to go out to work and not rely on what is given to him. Yes.
