Endowing wealth for the sake of Allah and leaving nothing for the children
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He has a final question, Shaykh Salih. The questioner says: What is the ruling on a person who dedicates all the wealth he has and everything he owns for the sake of Allah, and leaves nothing for his children?
Answer:
It is not permissible for him to do that, to endow the wealth and deprive his children of it. His children have the strongest right to his spending on them if they are young. If they are young, he does not endow the wealth and deprive them. But if they are grown and wealthy, he disposes of his wealth as he sees fit. Yes.
