The Ruling on Children Spending on Their Parents and Siblings
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says: I am a girl living with my mother, my father, and my brother. Please note that all my brothers and sisters are married, and I am the one providing for my family. Am I obligated to provide for them? And if I refrain from doing so, would I be sinful, may Allah protect me from that?
Answer:
If you are capable, and you have money, whether from a job or otherwise, and your father is unable to work, your mother is unable to work, and your brother is unable to work; then it is obligatory for you to provide for them. This is part of maintaining family ties and dutifulness to parents, subject to two conditions:
The first is that you are capable, meaning you have money.
The second condition is that they are poor and unable to work.
As for if you are unable to work; then Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity. Or if they are wealthy; then you are not obligated to provide for them. And be happy with good in providing for them if you do well and are patient, even if they are wealthy. This is great dutifulness and great good, but you are only obligated by the two conditions: your capability and their inability. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
