Okay. Do you need something? Hmm? You? Fine. Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, is not the maintenance of the wife and children prioritized over the maintenance of the parents? Please clarify this for us. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The maintenance of the wife is prioritized over the maintenance of the parents, because the wife is in the custody of her husband, so her maintenance takes precedence, and the same applies to her children.
