Question:
What is the ruling on one who prays and fasts, but is stingy with his family in spending?
Answer:
This person has done good and done evil. He has done good in that he prays and fasts, and he has done evil in that he is stingy with his children and his household regarding financial maintenance. Financial maintenance is a right they have over him; it is obligatory upon him, and he must not be stingy with it, because it is a right that is obligatory upon him.
