Involvement of Orphans in Housing and Food

Question
My sister's husband passed away and she returned to live with us along with her children. Is it permissible for us to take from her money or for her to distribute to us when she buys something for her children? She lives with us and we share everything in terms of food, drink, and housing, and sometimes we buy things that she does not agree to take from us?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: You should treat her well and share among yourselves in kindness until things become easier, and all of this has its reward. God knows best.
