The father refuses to provide maintenance for his son; is the mother permitted to give him from her zakah?

Question: If the father refuses to provide maintenance for his son, is the mother permitted to give him from the zakah of her wealth, or not? May Allah guide you.
Answer: It is obligatory for the father to provide maintenance for his son, if the son has no means and does not have the ability to work. If the husband does not provide maintenance, the wife provides for her children from the father's wealth—even without his knowledge. Hind bint 'Utbah said: "O Messenger of Allah, Abu Sufyan is a stingy man; he does not give me from the maintenance what suffices me and my children. Is there any sin on me if I take from his wealth without his knowledge?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: .
If the father is stingy, the wife takes from his wealth without his knowledge what suffices her and her children. As for the son who has strength and the ability to work, or who has wealth that suffices him, he provides for himself from his wealth, and his father owes him nothing. However, if he is poor and has no means, it is obligatory for his father to provide for him, and it is obligatory for his mother to provide from the father's wealth if he is stingy, even without his knowledge.
