Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: A man's mother asks him for money to give to her adult sons, thereby enabling them to remain idle and not work. Is he to give it to her if she asks for it for this purpose?
Answer:
If she is of this nature, taking money from him and giving it to her sons, this is not permissible for her; it is not permissible for her. As for him, he gives it to her in order to please her; he gives it to her in order to please her. As for her disposing of it in a manner other than its proper use, she is responsible for that. But he does not approve of it; he gives it to her as long as he is able to give it to her. Yes.
