Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. I have two sons, one is in school and the other is still young. If I give the one in school a sum of money daily as an allowance, is it obligatory for the young one as well? Please guide us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is not obligatory to give the young one who does not study the same as is given to the one who studies; because this follows need. So the one who is not in need is not given the same as the one who is in need, who is older than him, studies, and needs a school allowance. When this young one grows up and starts studying, he is given according to his need; because these are matters of maintenance that are determined by the extent of the need. Yes.
