The Parents' Spending of the Allowance Given to Them by One of Their Children on Another Poor Child
What is the ruling on spending on parents, knowing that they spend part of the money given to them on a brother and his family who are in poor condition and often curse and blaspheme?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The financial support for poor parents is obligatory by law, and it is also obligatory to support a poor brother and the poor children of the brother. What the parents do is a great good for you, and its reward is with them, and the bad behavior of the brother does not harm you; his burden is upon himself. And God knows best.
