The Money That Parents Take from Their Children
She says that she takes money from her daughter with her knowledge, promising to return it later, but until now she has not returned anything. Is it considered a debt on her?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It remains a debt on the mother, unless the daughter waives this debt for her mother, or if the mother is poor and needs someone to support her. What she receives from her daughter counts as part of the obligation of support the daughter owes to her mother, so it would not be a debt in that case. And God knows best.
