Is a woman obligated to spend on her needy parents from her savings or by selling her gold, and what is the ruling on purchasing her necessities like electronic devices in this situation?
Alimony for poor parents is obligatory by consensus (ijma'), and it is obligatory to the extent that it covers their basic needs of food, drink, clothing, and shelter. Alimony is obligatory for a daughter according to her share of inheritance. If alimony becomes obligatory and she only possesses savings or jewelry, she must spend from them to cover their needs.
