Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I have children. If my father is wealthy, and I am a young man with children, and I cannot find suitable work for myself, am I entitled to demand that my father provide maintenance for me and my children as well?
Answer:
Yes, the maintenance of a close relative is obligatory for him and for those he is required to support, such as his wife and his servant. If the son is poor, has nothing, and is unable to earn a living, then maintenance is obligatory for him, his wife, and his children from his father.
