The Obligation of a Mother's Maintenance for Her Daughter

Question
Does Islamic law require a mother to provide maintenance for her unmarried eldest daughter and live with her in the same house?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The mother is not obligated to support her daughter unless the daughter is poor and the mother is wealthy. In that case, she must support her, and she can seek reimbursement from the father if he is poor until he becomes able. And God knows best.
