The answer

A sister's kindness to her brother, such as cooking his food, washing his clothes, and so on, is an act for which she will be rewarded. It is considered a praiseworthy act of upholding kinship ties. She should not disdain this reward, especially if it does not harm her. However, it is not obligatory for her, and she does not sin by not doing it.
