Question:
Is the command in His saying: for obligation?
Answer:
It is not obligatory, but recommended; because in the hadith... his food and his clothing, and no one is burdened with work beyond what he can bear. If he feeds him what is appropriate and clothes him with what is appropriate, that is sufficient. However, it being of the same kind as his own, as Abu Dharr did, would be more perfect.
