The Obligation of a Mother's Maintenance for Her Children if She is Wealthy
Does a mother's maintenance for her children become obligatory if the father is poor and unable to support himself or his children?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: If the mother is wealthy and the father is in debt, then the maintenance is obligatory on her for her children; otherwise, it is not obligatory. And God knows best.
