What is the ruling on wealthy people whose father orders them to take charity?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man orders two of his sons to go to the charity distribution center to bring back some of the charity. These two sons say: Is it permissible for us to refuse our father's order, since we are wealthy and do not want to go to this charity distribution center?

Answer:
If they are wealthy, it is not permissible for them, for the charity distribution center is for the poor. So they should advise their father and say: It is not permissible for us, and it is not valid for us. Obedience is only in what is good. As for if they are poor, there is no harm.
Q: What if it is not enough for them, but they are extremely shy and do not want to go to this charity distribution center at all?
A: The point is that if they are poor, they are obligated to obey their father, and if they are not poor, they are not obligated to obey their father. As for shyness, it has no place in this.
