Question
Who is obligated to support a widow during her waiting period, if she has no one to provide for her, and she has a young daughter whose uncles are available? Are the uncles of the daughter required to support their brother's wife and daughter? Can she file a lawsuit for support against them?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The maintenance of the daughter is obligatory on her uncles according to Sharia, unlike her mother, whose maintenance is the responsibility of her family. You should verify the court's ruling on this matter, and God knows best.
