Re: Huge fight with husband
You are twisting my words to suit ur argument. I never said that i would not like my wife to help her parents if they are in need. I only said that my FIL will not like to accept financial support from his daughter.
Ofcourse, if someone is in need, its our duty to help them, even if they are not our relatives. And relatives have preference over other people to get our money in time of need. Personally i spend all the amount that i have for charitable purposes on my relatives(near, far, related to in laws) first and if i still have something left i will give it to any organisation bcoz i strongly feel that its one’s duty to relatives comes first before spending on anyone else.
Secondly, according to Islam, its not a duty of any child male or female to give money to their parents if they are well off.
However, what i did say is that if parents have means to live on their own, they shud not depend upon married daughter to contribute to household income.
Theer are many women who will send money to their parents for un necessary things when they own households need it more. Like sending money to father to pay for instalments for plot or a new house when they themselves don’t have one of their own. Or sending money so that they can do a lavish wedding reception etc.
I think its a shame for parents to accept money from their married daughters for such purposes. And i have seen many who do that.
