The answer

The poor child's maintenance is obligatory upon his able father. However, if the child is wealthy due to money or earnings, then his maintenance is not obligatory upon his father. If the parent is in need of maintenance, it becomes obligatory upon his able children, due to the Almighty's saying: "And to parents do good." It is obligatory to be dutiful to one's father and to treat him with kindness.
