The Shaykh:
Yes, and this is like the one before it in the order of those who are to be provided for. He starts with the mother, then the father, then the brother, then the closest, then the next closest in lineage. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah grant you success, O Shaykh. Regarding the maintenance of a son, if the son needs to get married, is the father obligated to pay the mahr (bridal gift) for the son?
The Shaykh:
Yes, if the son is unable to afford the expenses of marriage, the father is obligated, if he is able, to marry him and protect his chastity. Yes.
