The Rights of Children over Their Fathers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
From the questions of the questioner Ibrahim from Riyadh, he says: What are the rights of children over their fathers?
May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The right of a child over his father is that he should provide for him, as long as he is young, and as long as he is unable to provide for himself, his father should provide for him if he is able. He should discipline him, teach him what Allah has made obligatory upon him, and forbid him from what Allah has forbidden. He should be a role model for him in good, through his actions and his words.
Thus, it is obligatory upon fathers to fear Allah, to be a good role model for their children, to teach them, and to guide them to good. They should discipline them if they contravene the Shari'ah, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan ad-Daraqutni 3:5.
If the child is poor and the father is wealthy, it is obligatory upon him to provide for him, even if the child is an adult. He should provide for him until Allah expands his means and he finds work from which he can support himself. The most important thing is to take care of his religion, meaning to take care of his religion, guide him to good, command him to obey Allah, forbid him from the prohibitions of Allah, command him to pray, command him with everything that Allah and His Messenger have commanded, and forbid him from everything that Allah and His Messenger have forbidden. He should also be a role model in his actions; the father should be a role model, and the mother should be a role model in their good actions and words, a role model for their children.

مروا أولادكم بالصلاة لسبع، واضربوهم عليها لعشر، وفرقوا بينهم في المضاجعIf the child is poor and the father is wealthy, it is obligatory upon him to provide for him, even if the child is an adult.
