Financial Support for the Wife and Parents and Sending Money to Them

Question:
Abu Ahmad M.A.M. says: I have a wife who lives with my father and mother, so I used to send them five hundred riyals monthly, in addition to what I send for the household expenses. My mother learned of the amount and got angry, saying that I should send her two hundred or two hundred and fifty. I told my wife, and she got angry about it. I know that five hundred is a lot. Am I falling short in my financial support, and is this considered undutifulness to parents?

Answer:
You are required to send what the wife needs for her financial maintenance. The amount the wife needs for her financial maintenance is obligatory upon you, and there is no objection from any day. As for increasing the financial maintenance, you do not send it, especially if that would lead to your mother being wronged, so do not send it, because it is not obligatory upon you. Yes.
